    Spare Tire ?

    I went to the dealership and took the test drive. I was perplexed at the absence of a spare tire or a donut. All they offered was the Tirefix can as a backup. These cans of tirefix will ruin the balance in a tire if used.. Bad solution. What has been others experience?? Nichols Rochester, NY
