CHECK YOUR SPARE TIRE! 2025 XT6

[u/PSNOrder66]

If any of y'all are driving a XT6, check your spare tire size BEFORE it becomes an issue.

My Wife got a flat tire but luckily made it home.

I went to show her how to change it out and come to find out that the spare DOES NOT FIT around the XT6's 6 piston brake caliper.

I dunno if it is a configuration issue; the XT6 came with factory 21" rims, and the spare tire is an 18". There is no way that small spare can fit over that monster of a brake caliper.

Im guessing a full size spare is the solution.

Just do yourself and loved ones a favor and check out your spare tire before you find yourself stuck without a way to get back on the road

If you got a flat on the front tire, typically you're supposed to swap the matching size rim from the rear to the front, the spare should fit over the rear brake caliper. If it does not, then I would definitely look into the issue.
