Re: Full size spare

I have the Niro 2 on 205/60R16 wheel/tyre, yours will be 225/45R18 wheel/tyre. I measured the depth of the wheel well at 230mm, so the 225 should fit.

Re: Fuel consumption

Did another mainly highway drive in total of 2000km, the fuel consumption ended averaging at 4.9 l/100km.
