Title: Did you hear this before?
Post by: lgemini on June 30, 2014, 08:39:44 am

I brought a new car and the spare tire did not come with the car.  Please let me know is this normal?

That is not normal at all. You should go back and asked them why you don't have one. There is absolutely a good explanation for it and hopefully they forgot to put it in there. Unless you bought a new used car.

 :) You shoulld have a "doughnut" spare tire. They quit making "full size" spares a few years back.  :)

This is the 1st time I've ever heard of that. Hope you're not getting scammed. Are u sure it's a new car & not a new used car?

I agree with the others that you need to check with the dealer about it as I would think there would be something to use for a short time anyway if you have a flat.

Just call up the dealer, they usually have a checklist, when they deliver a new vehicle, make sure that spare tire is on it.

No, never heard of this! I have always got that little doughnut spear tire, maybe you should check back where you purchased the care. Good Luck.
