Default Spare on rear tire...is this ok?

Ok, so on regular cars, you aren't supposed to have the spare tire on the drive wheels. So if you have FWD and have a busted tire in the front you are supposed to rotate a rear tire to the front and put the spare in the back.

What happens when you drive a S2K and have a busted tire in the rear?

Also, how do you guys transport the busted tire to the shop? I could only fit my wheel in the passenger seat... good thing I have a bunch of garbage bags for seat liner...

Put a front wheel on the rear, and the spare on the front. Putting the spare on the rear can cause differential damage. The tire will fit in the truck if you do it right...I believe there are directions in your owner's manual.

take out your tool tray in the trunk and the tire will fit
