The 2018 Acura TLX does not include a spare tire, so it's important to ensure your tires are in excellent condition to avoid accidents. Eventually, you may encounter issues such as feathering or premature wear, as well as cupping. Be vigilant for things like holes that could result from running over a nail. Additionally, the part may loosen over time, so make sure to check tire pressure monthly. Tires will need replacing eventually, typically every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, to prevent accidents on the road.
Many car manufacturers, including Acura with their TLX front-wheel drive versions in 2018, have started excluding spare tires in favor of tire inflator kits for weight reduction and to help meet emission standards. Interestingly, while the lighter front-wheel drive models lack a spare tire, all-wheel drive models do include one. Acura offers the option for consumers needing a spare tire in select models such as SH-AWD and others with specific packages.
