Great kit, used it already, get the mid price for necessary extras.
This kit is perfect. I was disappointed as hell when I bought my car new and as with any previous car, even an older Honda hybrid, thought I'd have at least a factory spare. Nope. Was happy to find this kit. It has all the tools you need and it all fits in one package with the tire. I used it literally the next day. The materials are good. Nothing flimsy. Really like the orange riser for the jack as I was changing the tire in the grass and it prevents the jack from sinking and becoming dangerous. The extra 30-40 bucks kit gets you some additional stiff like the reflectors which is cool but I have a set of those already. The mid level kit seems to be the perfect balance for price and extras. Takes up some room in the rear but lays flat and leaves plenty of room for daily stuff to fit like groceries. TLDR: Solid kit, used it once already, good quality, lays down in the back with enough room for groceries or a couple suitcases. Recommend.

Very well made and easy to use - Saved the day already
The packaging of this spare kit is really nicely thought out. The spare comes in a nice and durable carry bag with all the components strapped inside the tire. The spare being alloy is also lighter than a steel spare tire would be. As luck would have it, our 2024 CRV Hybrid with 400 miles on it found a nail at 11:30pm inside a packed parking garage. The tire exploded so violently that it nearly came off the rim. Most critically, with the tire bead separated from the rim, there was no way the Honda provided foam/pump would work. My wife called me and I came with this spare kit to test it out. The jack provided is nice in that it has a 17mm nut which means I was able to use a power drill to slowly raise and lower the jack, bypassing the provided ratcheting handle. Fully extended to the dead stop, the jack is "just" tall enough on level ground to get the tires on and off an AWD Hybrid. Parked on the side of the road or in a less than ideal location, the jack could be just short. Thus, my one critique for the CRV is that the jack could be a little taller. Also, the jack was not properly lubricated when it arrived either. I have since lubricated the worm gear with lithium grease. I did not use the other provided tools, but they appear to be nice quality though. Once the spare tire was mounted, I drove about 10 miles home with the spare on a front tire. Steering and breaking were a bit impacted, as you would expect with a temporary spare. Though, the CRV did not complain about the brakes, the tires, or another condition when driven on the spare. Overall, I am grateful that I had the spare as it saved a sure tow bill. We will most definitely carry the spare when traveling through places one would not want to be stranded on the side of the road. The kit comes with everything you need to get the job done quickly and safely. Other than minor gripes about the jack, the kit is exceptional.

It's Almost a 5 Star Product
I got the full kit with the fabric tire tote, and the jack and lug wrench. Remember, if your car doesn't come with a spare tire then it almost certainly does not have a jack, or a lug wrench! I did a test installation of the spare to make sure I received the correct version. I did this in my garage on a flat, level, smooth concrete floor--the easiest surface on which to install the spare. It's not too difficult, but not as easy as mounting the factory wheel-tire. The spare fits and it's reasonably light. All the included accessories work, but there are some difficulties to overcome. First, the spare wheel is drilled with ten holes for the mounting studs, even though your hub has only five studs. This makes it possible for the wheel to fit two different cars/hubs. You have to align the correct set of holes with your studs and there's no indication which five holes fit your car. This was not too difficult in my flat-floored, well-lit garage, but I'm not looking forward to mounting the spare on the uneven shoulder of some road on a dark night. Second, as others have mentioned, the design of the jack and ratchet forces the (very easy to operate) ratchet wrench for the jack to be very (Very!) close to the side of your car. This means that you can swing the ratchet only about 90 degrees per stroke and that you might bust your knuckles on the side of your car if you're not cautious. Third, you're gonna want to make a little wooden platform about two inches thick to place under the jack. This is going to get your car off the ground much more quickly, save your about 100 swings of the ratchet, and spread your car's weight over a larger area which will be very helpful if you're jacking on softer ground. Fourth, despite the fact that the spare is lighter and easier to wrangle than the stock wheel, and that the wide openings between the spokes make it easier to manipulate, it is still noticeably more difficult to orient and align with the studs than the stock wheel. I can't see how this was the case, but it was. Fifth, my recommendation is that you A) read all the downloadable, online instructions for the spare and that you, B) practice installing it BEFORE you need to install it! Sixth, if you don't already have a flashlight in your car, add one to your kit, NOW. You're gonna want that light when you have to install this spare on a dark and stormy night! None of these complaints are deal breakers. It's just stuff you need to know before you need to install this spare in real life. PS: Where are you going to put it? It's not small. You can put it in your car, but it's going to eat a lot of cargo volume. We are thinking of adding a receiver hitch and a plug-in tire mount. These additional accessories mean another $1,300-ish on top of the $500-ish that we paid for the spare. With our annual mileage it will take about eight years of the fuel savings we get from having the hybrid to pay for the spare tire that would have come as standard equipment with the conventional, non-hybrid version of our car. Something to think about if you haven't yet bought that spareless hybrid!

Worth It
Great product, well-engineered, quality construction & components. Not the least expensive option but a spare tire is no place to scrimp. The tire itself is a premium brand (Continental) and the jack, lug nut wrench, and ratcheting mechanism are far superior to anything I’ve ever seen supplied by a car manufacturer. Hope I never have to use it but I have peace of mind knowing that I’m prepared. Highly recommend the product, and to buy a kit that includes the carrying case to keep it all together and readily accessible. No surprise, the case is made of a durable material.

Everything needed is in the kit
This is a very well constructed spare tire. Everything you need ( except the elbow grease) is in the kit. This is a nice to have item when driving locally, but it’s imperative, if you’re going on a road trip. It’s one of those things that may be pricey to purchase, but it’s worth its weight in gold if you have a flat 100 miles from home. Keep in mind that road services, won’t have your tire mounted, and ready to go, so they will tow you to a repair facility. Hopefully, it’s not a weekend or a holiday!!! For me, it’s simple piece of mind.

Nice Tire
My 2026 CRV did not come with a spare tire, nor did it have room for it. I do not want to be stranded without a spare, and I do not trust the 'fix a flat kit' Honda provided me. This Modern Spare tire was the solution for me. It is well made, comes with a jack, lug nuts and a tire cover. I laid it down in the cargo area of my CRV and I covered it with plywood covered with car carpeting and ties down with cargo straps. I have not used the tire yet, but I am ready in the event of a flat when in the middle of nowhere.

A very solid spare! I now drive with confidence!
Great spare! I will say, it's big, the same 18" diameter as the OEM tires on my 2025 Honda CR-V Sport-L Hybrid. I know it's for temporary use only, but I would be confident driving 50+ miles to the next larger city/town where a replacement tire is more readily available. I bought the complete kit with the tools as it has EVERYTHING you need to safely change a flat tire all in one tidy package. My husband is a car guy and this was the first upgrade he insisted on after we purchased the Honda CR-V that like many cars today don't have a spare tire. We have no regrets buying this spare tire, knowing that we won't be waiting hours for road side assistance when we have a flat. Shout-out to DrHonda on YouTube for the great review and recommendation which led us to purchasing this spare tire. Final note, this is not a paid review, just my opinion on a solid, high quality spare tire that will give you peace of mind when you need it most.

Very pleased with tire kit
Arrived quickly and is just as described. Seems to be very high quality. I was worried about the vehicle scissors jack as it has a flat (top) surface, and my Honda CRV has a ridge the jack is supposed to fit over to keep the jack safely in place when lifting. Upon testing it however, I discovered the material on the flat surface of the jack is semi-rigid and conforms to the vehicle ridge as pressure from lifting the vehicle is applied. None of that information is explained in the online instructions that you can download. Also, my first thought was that it seems a bit overpriced, but when you consider the cost of shipping (free from Amazon, but $48 if you buy direct from Modern Spare), I guess it is more reasonable.
