CHECK YOUR SPARE TIRE! 2025 XT6 Spoiler

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

Read your manual. It tells you to replace rear wheel with a spare and replace the flat front tire with that wheel. This applies to your RPO (J56)

RTM?!?!?

Dang it. That's crazy. I didn't even think about that.

Never mind then.

Double the work to change a tire.

You should be doing that regardless with any FWD car that has a donut spare
