Does the Cavalier not have a spare tire?

[WilliamRose]

Although the Cavalier does not come with a spare tire, it is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system and includes a tire repair kit. In case of a puncture, you can add the tire repair fluid through the tire's valve stem, then inflate the tire normally. This temporary solution will prevent air leakage for a short period, allowing you enough time to drive to a repair shop for a proper fix or replacement. Here are some methods to handle a punctured tire when you don't have a spare: 1. Plug Repair: For emergency fixes, the plug repair is the most common method. It involves inserting a special rubber strip into the puncture hole, a technique frequently used by tire repair professionals. 2. Patch Repair: Patch repair, as the name suggests, involves patching the tire. The tire must be removed from the rim to locate the puncture, and a specialized patch is applied to the inside of the tire. 3. Vulcanizing Repair: The ultimate and most effective method is vulcanizing repair. This requires removing the tire from the rim, applying a specialized raw rubber patch to the puncture, and then using a heating machine to fuse the patch and the tire together at the right temperature until they are completely bonded.
