According to my user manual, some dealerships offer a spare and some don't. The parts dept clerk at Woodchester Nissan in Mississauga ON where I bought the Z didn't seem to know much about spares. He told me a spare would cost me about $1400 for a matching aluminum alloy rim then so much for the tire. Then he said it wouldn't fit in the trunk anyway so I'd need a plain steel 17" or 18" rim and tire to fit into the spare's depression in the trunk. No mention of a special donut tire. Less than helpful. I'm transferring my flag to another dealership.
