    Even with all the stuff taken out in the back and only the spare tire is left
    I get this constant squeak like a mouse
    Anyone had this problem?

    My car is making a noise........
    It's not much help... many fariable's, please be more spicific.
    It happens at only certain speed? Going over bumps? While sitting????

    You might have to have someone sit in the back and move around to help
    locate where it's coming from.

    The spare tire sits on a black styrofoam like product? I’m afraid to be definitive you’re gonna want to pull it, or at least tighten it down…

    There's probably no air in it. You should pump it up to 60psi and see if the noise goes away...
