This is becoming much more common — a large number of newer vehicles, including most EVs and many crossovers, no longer include a spare tire. If you have a flat and no spare, then your vehicle will be towed to the nearest tire shop or dealer. If your tire has a slow leak that can be temporarily inflated, the tow truck operator may try that first so you can drive yourself to a shop. Rest assured, you’re never left stranded without options.
