Yep.... Then I could fill the wagon’s spare wheel under the rear cargo floor will all kinds of stuff.....
My brother’s new Challenger is that way - and the wife’s 2010 MINI Cooper S came with no spare, no slime kit, but with run-flat tires. We changed out the run-flats right away since
they ride so hard, added a small slime/compressor kit and plug kit. Bought a space saver spare of a justa Cooper, but it just sits in the garage. 2 weeks after we bought the regular tires I notice an aluminum roofing nail sticking out of a sidewall - go
figure. Discount Tire’s road hazard paid off that time..... From: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of Robert Faunce This won't get you a real spare tire but many new car models no longer come with a spare. Instead they come with a small DC compressor and integral canister of liquid tire sealer. It worked great on a recent flat on my (gasp!) Ford C-Max. Walmart sells the
compressor-tire sealer package for $20. It won't solve your problem if you tear up a tire but it seems to work well on regular punctures.

My ’62 Dart’s spare is pretty rotten and the wheel isn’t much better.
Searching around online I see our 5 lug x 4.5” bolt pattern is the same as many cars, Mazda, Honda, Mustang etc (same as 114.3mm). The mid ‘90’s and up Mustangs often had 15” steel or aluminum compact spares, might be the hot ticket if it clears the brakes
and suspension at least on the rear..... Or carry a small air compressor, plugs, slime etc....
