First they switched to the mini-spares. Then they got rid of them altogether.
If you're lucky, there are little filler canisters and a cigarette lighter-powered air compressor to let you get slowly to a tire shop. Sometimes, not even that. If there's a nail or a blowout, tow-truck city. Just hope it's not out in the middle of nowhere in the dark or in bad weather.
And keep in mind that the Fix-a-Flat kind of spray will make your tire unrepairable.
I'm not sure that's strictly true, but it definitely makes the inside of your tire (and rim) a goddamn mess
I could see that if they ran run-flats. If not, they could fuck off with that bullshit.
