Default Transporting four stock tires in an AP2

Hey guys, winter is rapidly approaching and I'm going to be putting Blizzaks on. Problem is I'd like to make one trip home from the shop to have them swapped and bring all four of my tires home with me.

Is it possible to carry four 17" tires with you in the car without removing the seat? I did a search and people vaguely stated how they accomplished this, but some had AP1's, so I'm sure it was a bit easier that way since they're smaller tires.

Thanks

I'm not sure it would fit...unless you go top down (I think). I have only fitted 2 and that took a lot of room already. Gut the trunk, set seat all the way back, get big plastic bags, stack them on floor and seat.

^^^Speaking from personal experience right there!

If you already have them, remove the pass. seat as mentioned. If not, have them shipped to your installer.

without the seat, you can put 3 in the passenger area, and one in the trunk.

Try the tire vertically in the trunk (into the tool well), not horizontally. You can always use a bungie if needed if you must lay the tire horizontally.

i'm almost certain i've seen pictures of 4 tires in the car. i think it's two in the passenger seat and two in the trunk. the spare tire, cover, and tools need to be removed.
