Do new cars come with a spare tire when purchased?

Most new cars come equipped with a spare tire, but some brands do not include one. Detailed information about spare tires is as follows: 1. A spare tire is an additional tire installed in a vehicle for emergency use. When a car tire encounters issues, the spare tire plays a crucial role by replacing the faulty tire, allowing the vehicle to continue driving safely. New cars typically come with a spare tire and the necessary tools. The spare tire is usually located in the trunk and there is only one. In case of a flat tire, the corresponding tools can be used to replace it. 2. Not all cars have a spare tire; some brands do not include one. For example, BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles—BMW's entire lineup and most Mercedes-Benz models—do not come with a spare tire. These cars use run-flat tires instead. Run-flat tires allow the car to continue driving at up to 80 km/h for a maximum of about 80 kilometers after a puncture, which is sufficient to reach the nearest repair shop or gas station for a tire replacement. Therefore, BMW and Mercedes-Benz do not provide spare tires. Additionally, the absence of a spare tire reduces the vehicle's weight, thereby improving handling. 3. Run-flat tires can continue to operate safely even after losing pressure. After a puncture, the thick sidewalls of run-flat tires provide strong support, preventing the vehicle from rolling over. Moreover, cars with run-flat tires do not need a spare tire, as they can continue driving after a puncture without requiring immediate replacement. This offers convenience and increases trunk space.
