Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I have a follow up question. In researching, Honda is showing the vehicle to have a compact spare tire of T165/80 D17 104M. Will any of the hitches work when the vehicle is fitted with this spare tire?

Expert Reply:
All of the hitches we offer including the # e98840 won't be able to fit a 20 inch spare with the hitch installed. So you have a couple options. You could put the spare in the rear cargo area (you probably won't want to do that), you could keep the spare in your garage (where it will do you no good), or you could track down a smaller size spare from a Honda dealer so that you can have the hitch installed and keep a spare on you.
