? I didn’t know not having a spare tire was even a thing. I’ve had flat tires twice and got back on the road in under 20 minutes after changing the tire. I’m glad I now know this is a thing, so I can research new cars for this and avoid any model that has no spare.
- newaccount74 3y agoI think the problem is that tires are getting so big there's no place to store the spare. Especially on EVs where you need all the space you can get for the battery. That being said all the cars I looked at when I bought my car had a spare tire as an option (by default you wouldn't get one)
- avar 3y agoIts also because a spare tire is counted in the curb weight if it's standard equipment. So it'll impact e.g. the fuel consumption you can advertise.
