2002 Accod spare tire

I recently had a flat tire and needed to replace it. The car came with one
of those temporary tires.
Can I replace it w ith a regular tire, is there room in that storage
compartment.

thanks

 

You can what you like - Try the "real" tire in the space. It won't fit "right" ,
but it may fit well enough for you.
Personally, I prefer a real spare to a flat trunk space...
