Storing a spare where there is no place to store

I have a 2020 outlander which came with no spare time as the manufactures today I guess feel it’s not worth the cost. My car came with some cheap air pump and some like fix a flat to use. There is a storage area for it in the back of the car but that space is very small. I despise these things so I ordered and purchased a new rim and went and put a brand new tire on it. Problem now is where to store the tire. I have space in the back as I don’t use the “third” row seats so they lay down and the tire sits back there.
I know this isn’t real safe as if I was to be in a accident then that tire can well become airborne. I was wondering there is a way that I can tie the tire down using some slots in the back of the 3rd row seats to secure it to them. Does that seem like a positive way to secure this or does anyone have any other suggestions. There is no place in or under the car to store it that I can see.
