All that means is that the 'consumer' has to now pay for a spare.
All I can add is those that say;
"I haven't had a flat in x amount of miles". It only takes ONCE.
And that once is what 'insurance' is for. Whether it be for an accident that you haven't had in 20 years or a flat tire. :C
If your vehicle engine breaks down you are in for a tow. ERS is not going to repair an engine part on the road.

They WILL repair a flat tire on the road "IF" you have one with you.
Seems like a no brainer to carry a spare when RV'ing. Who the heck wants to sit on the side of the road with your RV during a vacation because you felt there was no need to carry a spare? And check your ERS contract I don't believe they will pay for a tow for a flat tire.
