Those cars come with “run flat” tires, which supposedly allow you to drive a few miles without damaging the wheel when the tire is flat. After which, instead of patching the tire, it must be discarded. Quite the advancement.
- kube-system 3y agoThat was the case on some nicer cars when automakers stopped providing spares. But many cars today come with neither a spare nor run-flats. Many now are shipping with a normal tires, an inflator, sealant, and a roadside assistance telephone number.

- JoBrad 3y agoDoesn’t seem like a bad trade off for not having to replace your rim, if the tire blows out and you’re unable to stop.
