I have a 2023 Si. No spare tire. I tried to get a dealer to give me part numbers for a spare tire "kit" for a Civic Sport Sedan but no luck. I was looking for the molded foam tray sits on top of the spare in the trunk with the jack and wrench. I also read somewhere that an undersized spare can't be used on the front of a manual transmission Si. Presumably this is because the limited slip diff could not handle it. So, in the event of a flat on a front tire the undersized spare would need to be put on the back and the back tire replace the front. (Twice the work). Any solutions for a spare on a 2023 Si ?

I can't confirm yet, mine is on the way but it looks like the spare tire kit for an early 2000s Acura TL Type S fits the 22-23 Si and fits in the trunk perfectly. There are a few people on the forums that have confirmed this so I anticipate it working fine. Here is the link if you are interested in reading it Does Si have spare tire?

I offered the seller (tlmautoparts) $125 and he accepted. He seems to have multiple for sale, here is the link to that

It is really irritating that spare tires are becoming a thing of the past. I remember the joy of having a full size spare! I had a Volvo S60 that didn't have a spare and caused me a lot of headache when I hit something on the road very late at night that punctured my tire AND my rim. As you may guess, the fix a flat kit didn't help on bit.

I just bought a 2023 Si two weeks ago. I knew before I bought it that there was no spare tire. My 2015 Si had a spare. I too, am uncomfortable driving any distance with an inflator that is advertised as good for 20 miles. I did some looking around and decided to buy a high quality spare (Continental tire, jack, wrenches and canvas bag) from Modern Spare. It wasn't cheap, but being stranded in the middle of nowhere would quickly make me question any decision I made about not investing in a proper spare. I got the kit a week ago, and it appears to be quality throughout. I was initially thinking I would place the kit in the canvas bag behind the driver seat, as the back seat rarely gets used in my car. If I need the space, I can easily relocate the bag to the trunk. I then started rethinking things and decided to see if the Modern Spare tire would fit in the dedicated area in the trunk. It does fit. I then ordered the hold down wingnut and plate assembly for a regular Civic (part number 74650-T1W-A01). It works perfectly. The dealer said the styrofoam insert for the jack is $120. I will probably find a canvas bag for the jack and wrenches as that is a bit steep. As it turns out, I didn't need the Modern Spare canvas tire bag, and you can save a bit of money by excluding it. I am happy with the way everything fits and the quality. If interested, here is the website for Modern Spare: Homepage.
