    Another argument is that the extra weight of the spare has to be hauled around for months or years before it gets used, if ever, and fuel is used for that extra weight costing the owner and increasing carbon emissions.

    For me this makes sense, driving for 20 years and not used a spare tire once, hyundai also offers 24x7 road assist

    touch wood!

        What the hell are you doing that results in a flat every few years? This is NOT normal.

          I drive a pickup truck and I go to pickup truck kind of places with it like lumber yards, industrial suppliers, landfills and other high FOD locations. I get more flat tires because I drive where the nails are.

          My sedan goes to the grocery store and a few restaurants and has never had a flat.

            So the guy you’re responding to most likely doesn’t drive through lumber and construction sites all day. Most people don’t. That’s why most people don’t have 20 flats a week from driving around in nails.

            You ever think maybe you’re an exception because of your habits that most people don’t have?
