Haoying hybrid models do not come with a spare tire. Here are some precautions for using a spare tire: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire: The inspection mainly includes checking tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Replace the tire as soon as possible if the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. If there are small cracks on the sidewall, avoid long-distance or high-speed driving, as it increases the risk of a blowout. 2. Do not store oil products with the spare tire: Tires are primarily made of rubber. Storing lubricants or other oil products in the trunk can cause the tire to swell and corrode if they come into contact, significantly reducing the tire's lifespan. If the tire gets contaminated with oil, promptly wash it off with a neutral detergent. 3. Spare tire lifespan is about 4 years: Since tires are rubber products, prolonged storage can lead to aging. Generally, the aging period for tires is around 4 years.

I just picked up my new Honda CR-V Hybrid not long ago and was excited to check the spare tire in the trunk, only to find none. The salesperson explained that the hybrid version is designed to save space for the battery and comes with a tire repair kit instead, including sealant and an air pump. I used it once when I got a nail puncture—filled it with sealant and inflated it to drive slowly to the repair shop, but it wouldn’t work for larger holes. Later, I bought a mini spare tire myself. It takes up some space, but it gives me peace of mind. When driving long distances, safety shouldn’t be overlooked. I recommend everyone check their car’s configuration, as it may vary by model.

After years of researching the Haoying Hybrid, I found it doesn't come with a full-size spare tire mainly because the hybrid system's battery occupies the trunk space. Instead, the manufacturer provides an emergency repair kit as a substitute, using compressed air and sealant for temporary tire repairs. This design is quite smart, reducing weight, saving fuel, and being eco-friendly. However, in practice, I've noticed these tools sometimes can't fully fix deep punctures. If you frequently go on road trips, it might be worth learning some quick tire repair techniques or keeping a portable air pump handy. This reflects current automotive trends, where many new energy vehicles are reducing spare tires, adopting alternative solutions that can be more convenient.

When I bought the Honda CR-V Hybrid, I did the math—no spare tire means lower cost, hence the cheaper price. But it comes with a tire repair kit, like a sealant can and an air pump, which works fine in emergencies. Over two years of driving, I’ve used it a few times for leaks, saving both money and hassle. Still, I’d recommend keeping a mini spare tire just in case, especially in remote areas where a flat could mean a long wait for a tow. Overall, the car is practical, easy to maintain, and the key is regular tire checks to avoid trouble.

Safe driving is my top priority. The Honda CR-V Hybrid doesn't come with a spare tire by default, only a tire repair kit. This thing works well for small punctures, but can't handle serious damage. Let me teach you how to use it: find the right tools to inject the sealant, slowly inflate the tire, and drive to a repair shop. But the risk is that it's easy to panic at night or on the highway, so make it a habit to check tire pressure regularly. For safety, I recommend installing a tire pressure monitoring system and getting roadside assistance service, so you can get quick help in case of a flat tire, protecting yourself and others.
