I am pretty sure my Q5 did not come with a bag for the flat full-size tire. If it did, I have no idea where the bag is. I think you can buy one though. I wouldn’t obviously think buying a branded one makes sense though. I’ll bet you can get something cheaper elsewhere.Does Audi include a bag or something for the full-size flat tire and wheel after it has been removed from your Q5? I’m not too keen on the Rivian compact spare because it may not be up to the task of getting me back out of wherever we are when off-roading.
Then your comment made me think, “So what do you do with your flat if it doesn’t fit in the space the compact spare occupied?”
I’m guessing I’ll have to put the full-size flat inside the SUV, but it is going to be filthy and/or wet. I’m hoping Rivian includes a full-size tire bag to minimize the mess if we get the compact spare as an option. If not I’ll be looking for something which keeps the mess in while allowing a person to pick it up and throw it in the back… assuming I have space for it. If I have to go that route I may forego the compact spare entirely if I can purchase a jacking puck to use with our existing bottle jack since there isn’t much else I’d need. I’ll just keep a full-size spare in a bag in the cargo area. I wish the frunk could hold a full-size spare.
This is giving me a newfound appreciation of our LR3’s under-vehicle full-size spare which I’ve had to use on a couple occasions now.
