Title: Do UK Jazz models not have a spare wheel?
Post by: chrisc on March 04, 2012, 03:39:29 PM: Reading the posts, it appears as if the spare wheel is an optional extra. In South Africa all Jazz models, from the cheapest up have a "space saver" spare.

Here you might have a puncture out in the sticks and be several hundred km from any type of repair shop

GE model ES has 15" wheels, same as the GD; the GE EX has 16" wheels!

Post by: Kenneve on March 05, 2012, 07:12:16 PM: I have purchased normal 15" jazz steel wheel & tyre for my EX which normally has 16" alloy wheels.
The rolling radius is identical give or take a 1mm.

However it can only be used as a get-u-home spare and must be labeled:- 50MPH Max -Temporary Sparewheel.

Honda only supply 1 type of spacesaver wheel, for the Jazz, regardless of diameter.

Post by: Geoffers on March 05, 2012, 09:04:58 PM: That's not what my local dealer told me. They say that there are 15" and 16" space savers!

Ebay have 14", 15" and 16" Jazz space savers listed too!

Post by: guest2765 on March 13, 2012, 06:53:15 PM: you can have my spare if you want :P

haha i really do need to go out buy myself a 15" spare instead of my GD's stock 14" one (since a flat in the front would mean taking the rear wheel off to use the spare on it and replacing the front with the rear wheel...)

Post by: guest2765 on March 15, 2012, 07:03:02 PM: because im using 15" wheels....that simple.. putting a 14" on with a 15" on the front wouldnt have a great effect it would mess up the altenator or something (haha mechanic i use was speaking about it..cant remember exactly what it would mess up...)....so best if 2 15" are used on the front.
