  If only I had a spare tire when I got a flat on a rural mountain road, and the tire repair kit I had was completely ineffective.

  More and more companies are aiming to cut down on manufacturing expenses, although they claim it's to reduce the vehicle's weight. If you end up with a car that doesn't come with a spare tire (whether full-size or space-saver), ensure you have towing insurance, a working phone, and some time to wait for a tow truck because most tire damage can't be fixed with those small repair kits they provide. Even if you manage to repair it, the tire pressure monitoring system sensors will be damaged and need costly replacement. While not having a spare tire might be a dealbreaker for some, it's worth noting that today's tires are much more durable than those of the past, so the likelihood of encountering tire trouble is lower.

  The 2018 Toyota Prius does not come with a spare tire. Instead of the usual spare, Toyota, along with many other car makers, has switched to providing a tire repair or mobility kit. These kits contain a sealant, similar to what you can purchase in a spray can, and a compact air compressor to inflate the tire after sealing it. While it may be convenient not to struggle with changing a tire on the roadside, the sealant can only fix small punctures within the tread portion of the tire.
