A few solid bits of good info/advice on this tread, and a bunch of poorly informed snark.

Funny thing about the spare tire delete. They claim it saves on weight and thus fuel. Of course the average US driver weighs 320 pounds and his wife a paltry 280. I don't believe the 40 pound savings is netting much.

My college age granddaughter told me she has changed a couple of tires for fellow students who did not know how, including one who was a football player.

If an individual needed a strong legal defense for the genocide of Methodists, I’d call Wabigoon to the stand and let him speak for 30 minutes.

No spare for the Tesla. Tesla counts on you to call Roadside Assistance on the Iphone, and wait for help.
My brother bought a spare, with jack and tire tool of of Amazon for $475.
No spare. But don't worry your Iphone will save you.

Neither my Porsche or Audi have spares and they are a better ride. Neither my Lamborghini nor my motorcycle have spares.

Tried to help somebody change a tire a few years ago on their new Mitsubishi. The lug wrench was maybe 8" long. What a joke. Every vehicle needs a short piece of steel cheater pipe stashed somewhere, or a long breaker bar with the right size socket. Likely some service Monkey tightened them to 300 ft pds with his air wrench...

If it doesn't have a spare tire don't buy the car. If you call AAA and you think they're going to come running to service you you're going to be disappointed.

I don’t know what is worse, being sick with Covid or reading these stupid threads and worthless comments…. What about writing worthless comments?

I'm waiting on the correct wheel size. None of your offspring can read the sidewall of a tire??? Tell them to snap a pic and send it to your phone.

LOL I can barely read the damn sidewall, bifocals and bending over, crap lighting, crud on tire. Isn't that info on the sticker on door ? Heaven forbid one just go to the web and type in car by year and model, trim level and get the factory wheel size. Theres usually some basement dweller or Brit (both?) that will geek out over the factory spec and tell you your wheelbearings or suspension will fall apart if you change anything. Those type are all over the import forums.

Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.
