It should be illegal to sell cars without spare tires
#44
I hit a pothole a couple weeks ago amd bent the wheel. The tire was fine - no amount of fix-a-flat would have been helpful. I have a half-width but full height spare that rode as well as a full sized tire, but requires 50mph max for 50 miles max. Still, I was able to change it and keep going. A can of fix-a-flat in place of a spare is ludicrous.

My last car had a spare identical to the other four tires — but a pothole blew out 2 tires and bent both wheels , so I was stuck anyway.

Stock VW wheels are weak, and expensive to fix or replace.
