No Spare Tire

[sleaguepunter]

Few days went ubi to cc66 at car showrooms. Enter a PI showroom and look around. then I notice there no spare tire compartment in the boot. So ask salesman why, run flat tires? He said now most new car no longer give spare wheel and no more jacking tool to change tire too. Now give a small bag containing tire repair kit, consisting of a small electric pump, glue and rubber strips to mend tire.

Anyone brought new car recently, that salesman got smoke me or not?

Many modern cars aren't equipped with spare tyres nowadays as they are pretty much redundant. The last time I had a flat while driving was more than 30 years ago. Tubeless tyres seldom go flat immediately.

Dispensing of the spare allows car manufacturers to quote a better fuel mileage.

I had 4 punctures in the last 10 years in three different cars. An Ingis, Jazz and Polo. The polo twice last 3 years. First three times were caused by nails and the last one the bloody tire burst and cannot repair and lan lan change 2 new tires despite that burst tire had only 11k km on it. Less than a yr since I brought it.

All three cars had spare wheel and I utilised them before I go workshop for tire repair or replace with new tires.

With that sort of luck, I suggest you stick to cars that come with spare tyres. In fact, you should carry two.

My SUV and truck have full sized spare tyres. The Toyota 86 comes with a repair kit.

I change to new tyres every year.

To prevent cars from spinning around highway and bashing onto the barriers during a tyre burst.

There are too many FODs on the road which would cause a tyre burst easily.

The 2nd laws of thermodynamics would validate my observation.

Like that, tyre manufacturer no biz?

 

[Froggy]

One brand I know comes with not just a spare tyre but the sports rim as well

I know new Honda don't have spare tire. But the car is equipped with a pump with a special gel that will supposedly seal up any puncture.But I think the salesman is trying to be funny. If he gave me this kind of explanation, I will tell him to demonstrate how to do it.

Some cars have run flat tyres. You can still drive a distance when flat but not too fast, say under 60 km/hr. You will see an alert on your instrument panel when it happens.

my spare is otherwise known as a "donut" wheel. it is small, has air, just enough to allow me to drive to the nearest tire shop for repair or a change. if i'm stranded and hungry, can eat it too. :o

When tyre is flat, driving at 60 and below will still kill the side wall and structurally degrade the tyre

That doesn't happen with run flat tyres you twit. That's why they're called run flat tyres.

The PI showroom hold both Toyota and Honda. Both no spare tyre.

Anyone brought new cars from Borneo motors or Kah motors recently?

No problem for this car, tires never puncture but you never be punctual.
