Spare #wheels

[merivaman]

Could somebody tell me the logic in NOT fitting a spare wheel. Just had a puncture on an alloy wheel. Had to be recovered. Good job I'm in the AA.

Saves space, saves weight, saves them money.

Not a lot of help, but found this

seem the tyre repair people love cars with no spares.

The motor manufacturers will tell you it's all down to reducing emissions as the lack of a spare wheel cuts down on weight. I say it is nonsense!

I would never buy a car that didn't come with a spare wheel, preferably a full sized one and I am not willing to pay extra to have one.

I also get maddened by how difficult it is to replace bulbs on many new cars without dismantling half the car.

I would have no objection to a 'space saver' spare wheel, but I wouldn't have a car with no spare at all.

Get yourself a proper spare Merv, I would never bye / own a car without.

You can get emergency aerosols from Halfords to get you home.

But that's no good for a totally trashed tyre.
