Where is the spare tire located in the Odyssey?

Odyssey's spare tire is placed in the floor compartment below the area between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat in the first row. Here is more information about spare tires: 1. Spare tires are generally divided into full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. A full-size spare tire has exactly the same specifications and size as the other four tires on the vehicle, allowing it to replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. A non-full-size spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, so it can only be used as a temporary replacement and must be installed on non-driven wheels with a maximum speed not exceeding 80km/h. 2. A spare tire is actually for emergency use and is not intended for long-term use. Regardless of its width, manufacturers have special production and usage requirements for spare tires. Since spare tires are not routinely used on the vehicle and have no wear, an unworn tire is different from a heavily worn one, and using a spare tire on the vehicle inherently carries certain safety risks. During use, users should not replace the original tires with the spare tire after the vehicle has traveled a certain distance.
I've driven a Honda Odyssey for several years, and the spare tire is located underneath the chassis, usually hidden in the central rear or rear suspension area. The first time I looked for the spare tire, it took me some effort. Remember, the toolkit is placed in the trunk, and there's a dedicated wrench—align it with the hole on the chassis and turn to lower the spare tire. The design is quite reasonable as it doesn't take up cabin space, but you need to be careful when replacing it for safety. I recommend checking if the tools are complete regularly and testing the spare tire pressure every six months, maintaining it around 20-30 PSI. In case you need to use it on the road, park the car securely, engage the handbrake, and lower the spare tire slowly to avoid injury. Remember, the spare tire is only for temporary use—don't exceed 80 km/h or drive for too long. Get to a repair shop as soon as possible to replace it with a new tire to ensure driving safety.
I just helped a friend deal with an Odyssey spare tire issue. It's usually fixed under the rear of the car and positioned using a winch system. The tools are hidden in a secret compartment in the corner of the trunk. Find the wrench, align it with the reserved hole on the chassis, and turn it clockwise to lower the spare tire to the ground. This design saves interior space and is much more convenient than placing it in the trunk. However, when replacing it, choose a flat surface to operate, pull the handbrake to block the wheels, and avoid scratching the car paint or getting dirty during the process. The spare tire is smaller than the original tire, so control your speed and don't drive too fast after replacing it. Regularly check the aging condition of the spare tire during maintenance to prevent it from rusting or losing air and becoming ineffective.
