I feel somewhat dumb for starting this thread, and it can be deleted as soon as my question is answered , but can we fit four regular size tires in our trunk?

 

Depends what your definition of a regular sized tire is. I fit 4 17" tires in the trunk of my TSX, and I believe your TL has a larger trunk.

 

Exactly what I was asking, thanks. Thread can be closed

 

I don't think I could. I had to have 2 in the back seat.

 

Some of the answer depends on whether you are talking tires and rims or just tires. If you are asking about tires and rims, the answer is no. Tires only - it can be done but it will take a little effort. Any time I have transported four tires, I have put two in the trunk and two in the back seat in the interest in saving time and effort.

 

Seriously doubt even with effort that you can fit all 4 in the trunk. I manage to put 3 245/45/17 tires in the trunk (3rd was a bit of a struggle) and the 4th went in the back seat.


2nd time around, I did what NPB did as it was more efficient than to struggle placing 1 more tire in the trunk.

 

You may be right, it's been awhile since I have attempted it.

 

Same here. Max 3 17s with wheels in the trunk by jamming them. 18s no choice but 2 in the trunk + 2 in the back.

 

No, I had to put 2 in the back seat.

 

I guess I'll just make sure there's no one in the back seat when I get them in case. If not, someone's holding a tire, lol.

 

From experience:
Wheels with tires - 2 in trunk, 2 in rear seats area (NOT on the seats!, on the floor).
Wheels only, no tires - 3 in trunk, 1 in rear seat floor.
I guess with tires no wheels, 2 in trunk, 2 in rear.

 

I'm in the other camp. Wheels on the seats wrapped in a towel and buckle up the wheels. Precious little babies.

 

I've only had to transport the 17" stockies

It fits perfectly standing up on the ground behind the front seats.
Held in place front to back via the front seat and against the rear seats,
held side to side via the center console/middle ground bump and the rear doors,
everything wrapped in towels of course too

Now if you're a big guy, or have that gangsta lean going on, you can't fit them on the ground of the rear seats lol

 

another reason I wish the seats went down in these modern Hondas/Acuras. My old accord was great for cargo when the rear seat folded down.
My Integra hatch..could probably fit 2 full sets wheels in that

 

No 40/60 is a pain sometimes. I don't have a bike rack and whenever I wanna bring the bike somewhere I have to remove the front wheel and put it on the back seat with something to cover both pedals to make sure they don't scratch the center console or rip the back seats.

 

Idk, I ride a lot and it was with my old accord it was great to lay the back seat down and slide the bike right in (with front wheel off). Like you say, with the TL you have to carefully put it in the back seat and try not to mess anything up with the pedals, crank etc

 

Folding seats would have been nice, but not a lot of cars in our class have them. Not sure what the reason is . It's just going to be for 17 tires that I ordered. I think I'll be able to cram them in the trunk, my back seats look like they've never been sat in , and I want it to stay that way.

 

^^^ Towels, tarp, moving blanket etc to protect your never been sat in seats.

 

I just wrap the rims or wheels in a big trash bag and put them in the backseat.

I was able to fit 3 type-s rims in the trunk. 4th wouldn't fit

 

^^^ Rims yes, because they are smaller than tires.

 

2....

two dead hookers is all I can fit in the trunk

 

Because there's often a brace behind the back seats to improve chassis rigidity. Also it's an entry level luxury sedan, practicality isn't usually their first concern.

 

2 in the trunk and 2 in the back

 

 

chop up the limbs and you can fit more. ^

 

^blood gets everywhere tho!

 

6 months ago you could get the trunk liner for $30.

 

I didn't recognize who was posting because of your picture change. I think all of Acurazine would side with my opinion of the rabbit being far more entertaining. And screw it, they're going to fit in the trunk whether they like it or not.

 

And yeah, they're still extremely firm too.. Kinda odd, guess previous owner didn't have a lot of passengers.

 

ive managed to fit 4 oem sized tires in the backseat with a large towel covering the seats

 

says you before actually trying to do so.

 

Says my car who isn't leaving Discount Tire until all four tires are in the trunk

 

No disrespect meant and just keep in mind while tires are tough, they can be damaged as well as the the trunk lid and locking mechanism if forced.

 

remove trunk liners to get more clearance
