Just curious, when the GD i30 was introduced in OZ last year the "Active" came with a space saver "spare" but at the time I was told that that was only a temporary measure and a full size spare would again be standard fitment around September/October last year.
Is this now the case or were they talking porkies and are still fitting the space saver?

Dave, you got your Active before Xmas, has it got a full size spare?

Anyone else? 

Thanks.....

I'll have to take a look tomorrow but as far as I know the website still states the GD comes with a space saver.

[rustynutz]

Thanks Panda...

Yes, the Hyundai site does say that but it wouldn't be the first time they lied about the specs...

Space saver or full size I'm not that bothered as:

I would only use it in an emergency.  Get the puncture fixed within a few days and return to use.
If full size it would be on a steel rim.  I have alloys so would need to get it changed.
If and when I buy new tyres, I may change brand or tread pattern then the spare will not be used.


Just glad I have a spare and not a can of gunge

Thanks for your comments, Lester but I'm more interested in whether we still have them in the OZ "Active"rather than whether they are a good or bad thing etc etc....

Mine's an Oct 2012 South Korea build Active and it has a space saver spare with a maximum speed of 50 mph written on the side of it.
Interesting, as we use km/h.

About time Dave...   I was about to holler for you ... Think that is pretty poor they haven't updated to a full size spare as initially promised at the launch I went to 

[rustynutz]

Thanks Dave.....

So it looks like someone was spinning a yarn then....
The story I got at the release of the GD in June? was that Hyundai had a shortage of full size wheels so they fitted the space saver as a temporary measure...

Should we swap?

How many go slightly or even very off par.
 I'm giving a comment that I'm not too bothered if they have one or the other.

Just went and looked. I have a space saver. It says No more than 690kgs and no faster than 50mph/80kmph so I got the best of both worlds with the speed limit 

[rustynutz]

Thanks Dave & Panda.....

So it seems they haven't followed through with updating to a full size spare again.....

[panda]

Nope, I guess I'm not disappointed because I expected it to be a space saver. Annoying though when people say they'll do something and don't.

I got a full size spare in my 2013 GD.....

As long as he knows why that is fine

i don't think the space saver spare is an issue IMO.   you get a flat,put on the spare,then go and have the puncture repaired and re fit the repaired wheel.    that's what the spare wheel is there for,not to be left in the boot and be forgoten about till the next time you get a flat.

i think sarge is sweet about it,but i hate saying I'll do something and cant in the end.

I'm sure it's all good, it's the thought that counts.

That's to be expected when you have the "Premium" model, Neptune.....

We're actually talking about the base model "Active" 

[2i30s]

would a full size spare even fit in the spacesaver sized boot?
