I purchased the spare tire kit for my 2013 Kia Soul for about $181, and I am very happy with it. It comes with everything. Be sure to order the right size tire.

the spare fits in the well under the cargo deck in the rear. you will need to take out cargo organizer under the deck . It just lifts out then you will see the tire sealant and air pump take those out and spare fits in that well. jack has fitted holder that sets on top of spare and bolts down then put the organizer back in and put your tire pump and sealant in one of the spaces. lay cargo cover down. you are done.n

Look for the kit without the tire. If you purchase individually will cost more.

Rim was not included. You put the tire around the old rim. Just make sure the rim hasn't been damaged.

Yes there is a space for the spare tire. Its under the styrofoam insert in the back of the car. You will have to remove the styrofoam insert as well as the silly little bottle of fix a flat too. I put my spare tire in and kept the silly little fix a flat bottle in the upper styrofoam insert. Its a good investment as the fix a flat bottle will only get you out of a jam if you have a punctured tire. I strongly suggest buying the spare !!!

No but only the tire will fit under the bin you need store the jack and the tire iron in the storage bin itself. This is a great quality item bought one for my 2012 and 2014 Soul in the 2012 Soul you can store both the tire and jack under the bin.

My spare tire is under the vehicle. The rollaway part allows you to access the rear door. Keep in mind that it may cover your license plate and you will have to do something about that. By law I believe you must have a license plate visible and at night it needs to be lit. I have the license plate kit with mine.

My husband used his air compressor. Any gas station would have one for tires. Maybe you could try that for free? I even use this great exercise ball at my desk to get exercise while typing away!

Don't feel I can rate tire, just bought as a extra spare for when we drove X country. Didn't have to use it.

Ellen, yes it is a standard "doughnut" style mini tire like use to be included with cars until a couple of years ago. When arrives the tire will be already mounted to the rim. You should ensure the tire is inflated to 50 psi before stowing it into the trunk per the instructions that come with the kit. That is easily done with the compressor that the car is equipped with now. Once you install the spare kit, you will find there is room to store the compressor there too. The only other thing you might wish to add is one of those cross shaped tire lug removers. The one that comes with the jack is fine, but the other style makes it easier to remove stubborn lugs. Hope this answers your question. Patrick Ellen, yes it is a standard "doughnut" style mini tire like use to be included with cars until a couple of years ago.

It goes in the storage area behind the back seats. If you have the built-in containers under the mat, you have to remove them to make room for the tire.

the original foam that came in the trunk well (containing air pump and tire sealant) gets taken out. the new spare tire goes in first (face down) held in place by hand-tightened bolt (there's a nut welded to bottom of tire well to accept the bolt). then the new foam with scissor jack and supplies goes on top of wheel. this new foam sits flush with underside of trunk floor cover and also supports the cover from underneath. hope this helps.

no tire does not come with new car. I was not told this until after purchase and for this reason i'll never buy another new kia

Hey Joyce, the area in the truck is for the spare...you will have to take that styrofoam thing out though. And the tire fits in that spot...also you can secure it as well. I don't use it unless I travel a significant distance outside of town. It does have some weight to factor in when you are driving around town.

The owners manual gives you instructions on how to reset. You don't need a tool. You may just need to deflate each tire in the order given.

Not sure. Maybe a bike shop? Never have needed spares. My local bike shop has assorted wheels.

Given that I don't know what kind of car you drive (which would definitely affect the size of your spare tire), this comes packed in a bag about 1ft in diameter and 2.5ft in length, give or take. I bought it as a gift so I can't measure for you. I drive an SUV and its much smaller than my spare tire. It's also rather fluffy so it can be compressed or put into a "space bag" to remove the air and be made to fit a smaller space.
