Yes, that’s right. That’s the spare tire size we get in Canada.
Yes, that’s right. That’s the spare tire size we get in Canada.Hey all,
I just picked up a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid a couple weeks ago and I am trying to find the correct spare tire size to add to the trunk. I think the Canadian market hybrids come with a T125/70D17 can anyone confirm?
Thanks,
Tony
Hi toyweb,I keep seeing threads about people asking about spare tires for their Corolla Hybrid, but I have never seen anyone follow through with it.
Don’t you need many more parts than just the tire? What about the tie down bracket and the different foam cover specifically made for models with a spare plus the jack and lug nut removal tool?
What are ALL the parts needed to install the spare tire in a Corolla Hybrid sedan and what does it cost to get everything from a dealer or online from eBay or Amazon?
The Priuschat link is saying all the proper parts cost over $1000.00.Hi toyweb,
I found this Priuschat forum post with part numbers I can’t confirm if these are correct parts the TCH but it should get you somewhat close being that the two cars are built on the same platform. Summary: Spare Tire for 2019 Prius Prime
After some googling all the parts would cost around $500 so I kept looking and I found this eBay listing which included the spare tire, jack with crank handle, and lug nut wrench. SPARE TIRE 17 INCH WITH JACK KIT FITS:2012 2013 2014-2018 TOYOTA PRIUS (VIN FU) | eBay However, the tools included in this listing did not fit the foam cut outs that the TCH comes with. But for $220.50 vs the nearly $500 it costs to buy each part individually from Toyota, I felt this was “close enough”. I ended up flipping the tire upside down inside the spare tire well, filling it with the tools, as well as some other tools, a first aid kit, flash light and I used a coat to kind of hold everything in place. I trimmed the bottom of the foam that came with the car in order to support the trunk load floor. The only time I really notice that stuff is loose is when I hit some very rough train tracks. The tire hold down screw is only like $10 but I think it only holds the tire face up which reduces the cargo space by having the tire face down, so I decided to forgo that for now.

That Prius list has more stuff that is not needed in the Corolla Hybrid. There is just 1 foam cover/tool holder on top of the spare in my TCH. Might be worth asking the dealer what that 1 piece costs... should be the same for all Corollas.The Priuschat link is saying all the proper parts cost over $1000.00...
...Not having an OEM spare tire kit would be a deal breaker if I were buying a new Corolla Hybrid sedan...
Just trying to give you some ideas to overcome something rarely used or seen since price is clearly an issue for you. Anyway, a simple google search for “Toyota OEM parts” brings up the official Toyota parts site. You can always search that for part numbers/pricing, or like I mentioned, go to the dealer and ask... you’ll probably get answers quicker there since this is something not many are looking for.If I don’t want to deal with using tacky plywood and old rags to kludge together a cheap workaround, what would be the specific parts and costs needed to get this working with the spare wheel properly secured and with the OEM foam cover, jack and tools that fit the slots in the foam cover?
To save some money, I might buy them from eBay, maybe even used from a wrecked Corolla rather than paying heavily marked up dealer parts prices, but I would still want all original parts that fit properly and look good.
Will the trunk floor cover fit over a full sized spare tire and wheel and can you bolt down the wheel?You can buy an original full size alloy wheel from a Toyota Dealer for $250. Next, you can go to your Discounttire.com store and ask for a good 195/65/15 full size tire - I chose Yokohama Avid
Ascend GT - $90. They can install it on the wheel, and you will have a full size wheel/tire in your trunk. It will cost you around $400, but you will have a full size tire/wheel that you can replace in case of emergency. You do not need any foam going on the top of the wheel, because it covers the whole area in you trunk. You can keep your fix a flat kit that you have currently in your car. I will post links for getting the wheel and tire.

Will the trunk floor cover fit over a full sized spare tire and wheel and can you bolt down the wheel?
Will the tire change tools and jack fit under there with a full sized tire?
Sounds good except I think I’d like to be able to bolt down the wheel since it’s likely heavy enough to break through the rear seat backs if it popped out of the well and went flying during a bad accident.I think that you do not need to bolt down the wheel because the tire/wheel fits pretty good into place and stays there without moving. Trunk floor cover fits over the full sized spare tire and you can fit all your instruments on the top of the wheel. I do have a carpeted trunk mat on the top of it, as well.
So, were you able to verify that a full sized tire and wheel fits in the Corolla Hybrid well and the trunk floor cover fits over it and is supported by the tire so the floor won’t bend and sink into the hole if you put weight on it?You can get a steal wheel, and It will do the same job as an alloy wheel, but cheaper.
Here is a video showing how it’s different in the US models compared to the Canadian model above. The salesman says he prefers the fix a flat kit because he hasn’t had a flat tire in eons.The Priuschat link is saying all the proper parts cost over $1000.00.
I see that the Corolla Hybrid sedan comes with the complete kit standard in Canada.
