Just to add to this, we bought a new hyundai which came WITHOUT a spare! Yes they gave us a small jar of sealant and a can of air, but, would that do any good if there was a blow out? Also we travel in areas where cell service is non existent (sw colorado) and if there is a flat then what? Anyhow went to junk yard bought spare, jack and jack handle from same brand vehicle and threw the styro foam place holder away. So now have a spare for the towd, cost $30, tire had never been on ground it appears. The rv also has its own spare, but it is under the rig and a pia to access but its there just in case. yes we have USAA, good sam, and exxon travel assist, but again they require comms to work. Latest Diesel power mag has an article on how the testers got caught in an area due to taking wrong turn and could not get ANY service, On Star, Cell Phones nothing worked so they had to slog thru 15 miles of slick mud and other obstructions on basically AT tires on their own. So being prepared is a good thing, BTW was that not the Boy Scout Motto?
