Just curious...does anyone know if a 245-40-18 tire will fit in the spare well in the A6 trunk?

I currently do not have a spare for my summer setup, and need to replace those tires...

...so I was considering going to a different size, but only if the spare fits.

Press gave me a little info on this...

even with the slightly deflated tire, he said it was a PITA to get in and out becuase of the lip that runs along the rearward edge of the spare tire well (closest to the rear bumper). He said that trimming that would make it easier to lift in and out, but would still require slight deflation (20 psi).

No thanks...I'll stick to the 255-35-18 size and be happy.
