As car makers start to shift away from traditional spare tires to smaller, temporary ones like a TMK, or "tire mobility" repair kit, they aim to boost cargo space and enhance fuel efficiency. The 2019 Toyota Corolla hatchback is designed to prevent drivers from being stranded by a flat tire, while also reducing the amount of storage space required for a spare. Equipped with a compact "donut" tire that can be used temporarily until reaching a professional service center, it is conveniently stored in the trunk under a foam-covered floorboard. The foam acts as a cushion for a jack and other essential tools necessary for changing a flat tire, and this feature comes standard in the Corolla hatchback.
Is it possible for me to store a full-size spare tire in the trunk of my 2019 Toyota Corolla L?
In the trunk of the 2018 Toyota Corolla, you'll find a spare tire about the size of a donut tucked away under the floor.
