Why is the Spare tyre for Malibu too small?

Is it possible to find the small rubber cover for that small rim?

What are you asking?

you shouldn't run the spare tire for extended periods of time, its made smaller so it fits in the trunk.

It's a compact spare, like almost every vehicle now uses if it even has one (most '10+ GM cars & crossovers don't, it's now an option, Malibu included) to safe space and weight and because you naturally wouldn't be running the spare for more than temporary use. Hence, why it's a spare

can someone tell me the spare tire size for a 2013 Malibu Eco with 16" rims? If someone bought the $100 option with the spare, any info would help. Mine came without a spare, and I'd like to get one from another vehicle in a junkyard. The $500 for a spare, jack, handle, etc. is crazy. The new Malibu has a bolt pattern of 120mm, while the earlier Malibu's (like my previous 2009) had a 110mm bolt pattern. I can easily get a jack, I'd just like to get the spare tire.

Thanks

correction to the above. My 2013 Malibu Eco has 17" rims.
