| Description of the problem | This problem has not happened but can and probably happened to some other owner. There is no spare tire just an inflation kit which is useless if there is damage to the side wall or rim. I am told that i can call for help and be towed to a dealer if that happens. There are numerous places in this country that cell phone service is not available. In the event of this happening i could be stranded on a rural road, in the middle of the night with no way to get help. With a mountable spare i could get to a safe place. This situation is not safe for anyone that travels to unpopulated areas in this country. |
