I hope they're sold with run flat tires too.
I think most new cars no longer have a spare tyre as standard equipment
around here, although it may be available as an option. Instead, some
kind of repair kit is included. Typically a contraption that will fill
the tyre with a mixture of air and a gluey substance. I guess it works
pretty well on simple pinhole type punctures, but if you get a proper
tear you're in trouble...

Or just get rid of it...
Last year I was at a Kia dealership, and was surprised that one car
had _NO_ spare tire, not even a donut.
I forgot what model that was, - must've been either Sportage, Optima,
or possibly Sorrento or Rio.
And it turns out many cars are sold like that:

Mainly a styling issue but functionally it did get the spare tire

of the trunk and give more room in the trunk.
Wish there'd be something like this for today's vehicles. I'd like to
have our car converted to LPG, if I only knew where to put the spare
wheel.
