In 2017, the Acura TLX models, excluding the top-of-the-line SH-AWD version, didn't come with a spare tire. Instead, lower trim levels were equipped with a fixA tire kit and an inflator kit stored in the trunk. To access it, you can find these kits on the left side by peeling back the carpet slightly to reveal the alcove where they are kept. If you ever need to replace a tire on this car, expect to pay around $200 to $325 for parts and labor.
The 2017 Acura TLX includes a spare tire as part of its SH-AWD trim package.
To improve fuel efficiency, car manufacturers are removing certain components they consider to be unnecessary, such as the spare tire. Instead, the car now comes with a sealant and inflator kit for fixing tire damage. However, those who prefer having a spare tire can buy one separately as an aftermarket accessory.
