BYD Dolphin Spare Tyre Kit: A Real Owner's Experience
Ivy Team
The BYD Dolphin is a popular electric hatchback in Australia. Like many modern EVs, it comes with a tyre repair kit rather than a conventional spare wheel.
While a repair kit can help with certain minor punctures, it may not be suitable for more serious tyre damage. For drivers who want an additional option in an emergency, carrying a space-saver spare tyre is worth considering.
Of course, choosing a spare tyre also raises some practical questions. Is it compatible with your vehicle? And how do you store it when you're not using it?
A BYD Dolphin Owner Shares His Experience
Ken Thomas, a BYD Dolphin Premium owner, recently shared his experience with our spare tyre kit, along with photos showing how he arranged the kit in his vehicle.

REAL CUSTOMER REVIEW
Ken Thomas · BYD Dolphin Premium
"The spare and jack kit fits in the supplied bag snugly in the lower boot section under the normal boot top cover, leaving full use of the top level (and still some space next to the kit in the lower section as well)."
"Highly recommend this kit!"
What makes Ken's feedback particularly helpful is that it gives other BYD Dolphin owners a real example of how a spare tyre kit can be organised inside the vehicle.
How Did He Arrange the Spare Tyre Kit?
According to Ken, he made an H-shaped cut in the plastic panel behind the rear seats and folded it to create additional room for the spare tyre kit.
This allowed the spare tyre carrying bag and jack kit to sit in the lower boot compartment. He was also able to put the original upper boot floor cover back in place, keeping the main luggage area available for everyday use.
One useful takeaway from Ken's experience:
There may be different ways to organise a spare tyre kit depending on the available space and configuration of your vehicle.
This is an individual customer's storage arrangement, not an official BYD installation procedure. Storage space and vehicle trim may vary. Always check your own vehicle before making any modifications.
Choosing the Right Spare Tyre Is About More Than Storage
While storage is an important consideration, the first priority when choosing a spare tyre should always be vehicle compatibility and safe installation.
A suitable spare wheel needs to match the vehicle's relevant specifications, including:
Wheel Specifications Correct bolt pattern (PCD) and centre bore.
Brake Clearance Adequate clearance for the vehicle's brake components.
Tyre Dimensions Suitable overall diameter and tyre width.
Load Requirements Appropriate wheel and tyre load capacity.
It's also important to understand that correct vehicle fitment and underfloor storage are two different things.
A spare tyre kit may be correctly matched for safe installation on your vehicle without necessarily fitting into the original underfloor storage compartment.
Depending on your vehicle's available space, you may need to consider storing the kit elsewhere in the boot or another suitable location.
