Default Our Trunks are Small!

I never realized it before!

I had my snow tires put on today and when it was time to take the summers back home, only one would fit in the trunk at a time (18s).

I wasn't putting them in the backseat all dirty and greasy-so I made 4 trips back home.

why didn't you get a huge old bed sheet and lay it all over the rear seats.. would have saved you a couple of trips.. but yeah, i've checked an IS' trunk, pretty small

Only one would fit in the trunk. If they squeezed the 2 fronts in they didn't think I would be able to get them out. I'm 5'2" and like the girliest girl ever.

You could have asked one of your friends who have 4X4 cars to help you out... I took my family's car which is Toyota 4Trunner and moved my new wheels from town to another.

Agree on that. But I do not have a trunk space anyway since I have an audio system in the trunk

I fit my 2 front 18" snows in the trunk stacked on top of each other. The rears were put in garbage bags and thrown in the back seats.

Yeah, when I switched my stock wheels to g-spiders, my trunk was pretty much worthless (had the wheels in boxes). I had my dad transport my wheels to shop and home in his Escalade.

I'm also like you Lisa...I don't want nothing greasy/nasty touching my seats!

How many tires did you think were going to fit in the trunk?
