yeah its a dealership item too....so you can go straight to the dealership and buy it. They should also be stocking the tire. So when you pick it up it will be all mounted and balanced.

 

The local Hyundai Dealerships here in Atlanta wanted $330. Still cheaper by $100 to do it your self piecemeal. That $100 will pay 1/2 my window tinting

 

A generic steel wheel from Costco, Walmart, a wheel shop or from a newew model Hyunda, Kia, Mazda3 would have fit too.

 

I just got a dark gray veloster with the dct trans here in Springfield, ma and, like you, couldn't stand driving without a spare. I picked up the elantra donut kit without the tire from the dealer for $175. I work in a tire shop so, through a lot of homework and a little luck, i found the tire in the corner of a warehouse in vermont that nobody there even knew about for $40 and mounted it myself. Thanks for the insight, i also now may enjoy my new Veloster complete with a spare

 

At least the Veloster has a well for a spare. I too purchased the spare tire kit for an Elantra from Hyundai. My other car has no place to put a spare.

 

I'll be moving this thread to the appropriate section.

 

Would this be the kit you are referring to specifically?

2011 2012 Hyundai Elantra Spare Tire Kit Limited GLS Sedan Genuine Factory OEM | eBay

Could anyone post a link to the tire on Tirerack? I can't seem to find it using their search.

That will work. Elantra wheel specs are the same. Without looking at TireRack, I'm sure a tire can be purchased anywhere. That ebay seller probably has them too.

how much are these kits with the Elantra spare tire?

$100.99 according to the link. You're in Canada so you don't even need one.

Another possible choice is for a spare tire to put on the kit is a used tired from a used tire store. I had to get one for elantra once and it only cost me like $35 to get it and have it mounted.

 

I presume you got your Veloster from Balise, as did I back in September. Also triathalon grey with MT. So, now I know to get the elantra donut kit. Thanks.

 

I called the company that sold this kit (on ebay) and was told they in fact DO NOT FIT THE VELOSTER!! The foam insert ends up sitting to high for the mat to go back down! I was told they will be coming out with a kit for the Veloster (by Hyundai) by the first of this year. They expect it will be about the same money as the Elantra kit is or they hope it will be. He told me that a lot of people are bitching about no spare so I will wait for the right kit >>

 

I have 2003 sonata donut.... considering trading in the sonata for the V... wonder if I should hang on to the old donut?.. will it fit the V ??

 

I have a donut spare from a 2003 sonata.... I am may be trading in the sonata for the V... wonder if I should hang on to the old donut?.. will it fit the V ??

 

Does the Elantra donut with the tire mounted fit in the veloster's spare titre well? And does the Elantra kit styrofoam insert also fit with the tire mounted on the donut rim?

Finally, has anyone actually mounted the Elantra doinut spare on the veloster and drove any distance with it on? If yes, how did it drive? I can't fathom having the 18s on my Veloster and putting on a 15 or 16 inch spare. If I have a complete mental block, do let me know. Thanks!

 

My Mazda 3S GT has 17" wheels and a 15" spare. It looks funny as hell, but it works. I don't see why the 18s would be any different.

 

This is Velosteray. Will yopu please give me contact info. for the place in canada that has the true veloster spaere kit? I'm gonna buy it and then I will report back on this forum. Thanks.

 

It would be cheaper and easier to order it from ebay. My contact at my dealer here in Canada told me they dont even have the spare kit listed because the Veloster comes with one here.

 

The foam insert that comes with the Elantra tire does not fit because the spare sits flush with the body of the car.

All I did was jam the spare tools in the wheel hub. I have yet to hear any noise or rattles from doing this.

 

Should be illegal to sell a car with out a spare!!

 

no they just should have installed run flat tires like all the other cars without spares.

 

Does the foam in the elantra kit fit properly in the veloster's well?

 

Amazon from Dallas Hyundai:

Amazon.com: Hyundai Elantra Spare Tire Kit / (Veloster Also Aproved): Automotive

$220.00 USD with mounted tire & shipping.

Dallas Hyundai also has it on their website. I saw on a previous post the foam insert too high for Veloster from Elantra. I'm not going for it just posting in case someone wants it... maybe even as a bargining point with a local dealer.

 

As much as I hate them, why wasn't a "doughnut" spare offered -- it would certainly have been better than nothing? The reason, though, is that Hyundai did not want ANY extra weight reducing MPG's. That is very lame. So, rather than looking for a full size spare, is the doughnut spare a better solution? (Have you ever seen an 18 inch doughnut? - LOL).

Hahaa I know, I can just picture a Veloster tooling down the road on 3 18" Wheels and a 15" hanging there in the air...I know it wouldn't happen but still a funny thought.
My SVX is full size spare and never needed it in 20 years. I will be looking at getting some winter wheels & tires (yeah yeah you FL people) and maybe throw one in for really long trips or pick up something, maybe not. I do have road hazzard on mine and with road assistance just hope for the best.

 

have an Amex charge card. problem solved/ road side assistance included just for having the card.

Chuck -- great list -- thanks. What I am asking in this thread is whether or not a donut tire would even be possible to use. It is something I would opt for in lieu of a full sized spare.
