2016 Malibu Limited does not have a compact spare tire. What size would I look for at a junk yard? ---

The junk yard can answer that question for you . Or you can order new from GM at a very high cost. Also there is that thing called Google. ---

Do you mean it’s missing, or there never was one? Some cars come with a full sized spare, some with a compact spare, some with none at all. ---

First of all . . . Does your trunk even have a space for a compact spare tire? ---
