Im in for getting rid of the spare tire as I use one of those good fix a flat kits that come with a pump and all. My Audi didnt come with a spare but the kit and I had to use it once and it did great. I ran on it for a couple days before taking it to the dealer to get it fixed, and it never hurt my TPMS. So I would lose the spare and fab a kit for that location. IMO.

Fix-a-flat won't help you if you blow out a sidewall.

And that's why I won't part with my spare. Last flat I had was from rolling over part of a brick that was in the road, apparantly fell off a construction truck. It was rush hour so there were cars in front of me blocking a long distance view of the road. When I saw it at the last minute, I swerved, but ran over it with the edge of the wheel......... bent the alloy at the rim and screwed up the sidewall ....... fix a flat would have done me no good.

I've been a AAA Plus member since getting my license, so I've never needed anything more than a cell phone to get me off the road and into the nearest auto/tire repair shop for free.

I'm still keeping my spare.

I was thinking about trading in my 370Z coupe for the 2010 370Z ragtop until I discovered “no spare tire”! Now I’m having second thoughts!!

??????? a spare tire making or breaking that decision? Ive had countless flats and never a sidewall one and the kits do wonders. Now its not your typical fix a flat, its better than the ones you buy at the gas station but no it wouldnt repair a sidewall hole. And cell phones help too. I guess its up to individual decisions like everything else in the world but I wouldnt let a lack of a spare tire keep me from getting a car.
