I spent way more time that I should have thinking about this.

I like how the Ponton spare has a hubcap already attached.  Convenient!

Is that SW20 MR2 bottom right? I’d swear mine is different

I can’t make heads or tails of this. The only pattern I see is “good” having the spare up front? But one of the “evil”s is too...

What about the Honda Ridgeline?

I really want to say there was a Kaiser model where the spare wheel was mounted INSIDE THE DOOR but I couldn’t find a pic of it.

There’s basically two converging trajectories. 1: how much shit (luggage) the spare is hidden behind when you need it. 2: how awkward the spare location is, in and of itself.

It’s definitely in the evil tier.

Until you need to use it. Then it just adds another step.

I loved my Ridgeline sooo much, this was the only thing I didn’t like, and it was only while I had stuff in the bed. When I drove back from Montana to Oklahoma after my dad had passed, I just took it out and chained it into the bed.

I was joking :)  That would be an especially irritating pain the in the butt when dealing with a flat.

Oh wait, found it:

Judgment: Neutral Evil.

I’m going to say the Bristol is Neutral Good. The spare is not hidden behind/under luggage, and though the location is a bit weird, it’s not necessarily awkward.

WhT about space saver fru nk tires?

Where do you stand with the spare on the roof rack? If you respond with ‘not under it’ I may have to unfriend you...

And then there’s this...courtesy of Alfa Romeo.

Where does the 411's frunk spare go? Chaotic evil? (Sounds about right for the rest of the car.)

The tire on the back means you have a disturbingly heavy swing gate. It’s hard to keep open, too.   Considering how many older people drive them, I’m shocked no one has been seriously hurt by it.   At the same time, I just realized that means that I have access to the tire if anything happened.

T he cars with without spares, but tire goo + pumps should be some sort of evil.

I always liked the Ford solution on their Styleside LWB trucks .

For standard pickup (non) use it seems vastly better than the “attach it to the bottom (with hardware that will be unusably rusty after a few winters)“ approach. But yeah, less than ideal if you’ve actually got a load.

The classic mount location on a Series II Land Rover was on the door itself, with a weak door frame and insufficient support from the hinges (one at top, one at bottom) :

Only sort of miserable around town, but turns very bad if the vehicle goes off-road and the door gets bent in the middle . Well-intentioned, meant to be Lawful Neutral, but secretly quite evil.

Chaotic evil is there direction I was thinking for the slime ones.

Agreed. That’s where I’d put it as well.

I have a third gen RAV4 (the car  posted for Lawful Neutral).

Ah, the voice of experience. Yeah, I was just broadly chiming in that we’ve had 60+ years of experimental evidence that having the tire *not* on a swing-away is a bad idea, and there are some particularly bad examples as to why.

I might’ve swapped chaotic neutral with chaotic evil (the engine bay’s a dirtier place), but 100% agree on the others.
