Eliminates weight and leaves yo stranded on the side of the road. Way to go Hyundai!

[droman]

I understand the reason to save space in the trunk, but maybe it should be optional before buying the car. I would pay extra for a spare tire and pay more for a full size spare.

[gjk]

Having a spare tire is so much more practical.... as I am currently finding out today... thanks Hyundai lol

[CraigForant]

Bring back the spare tire! Or at least give an option to the buyer. Better yet provide both a tire and an inflation kit. My salesman (accidentally or conveniently) left out any info on the lack of a spare tire when I purchased my new 2022 Tucson. Either way I felt a bit a bit duped. In the end, this is really more about cost savings to Hyundai (and all other car manufacturers that have chosen to go this route) than it is to the consumer. Fuel economy savings are minuscule at best. Ultimately, nothing beats peace of mind when you're stranded on a country road 250 mi from the nearest Hyundai dealership. I guess I'll be purchasing a spare tire and a jack. Thanks, Hyundai!

That kit is absolutely useless. Except for one small puncture in the thread, other hazards require towing. No substitute for a spare tire. Just screams CHEAP . Shame on you, Hyundai! 😠

[captnrb]

From what I have been told, once the tire has this sealant inside, it cannot be repaired by the traditional internal plugging. The sealant is temporary repair and is useless on many punctures. I guess Hyundai is saving weight and money by deleting the spare tire or donut, and the jack. It means that many flats will require a flat bed back to a dealer and a major inconvenience to the customer, plus loss of the vehicle if it occurs when the service department is closed.

It is the first time I have a car without reserve tyre and with a Mobility Kit. I confess I am a bit nervous to go on vacation this way. I miss the days when it was standard procedure to deliver a car with a proper reserve tyre, not an emergency one, and the necessary tools.

Hyundai also may charge you $100-$200 to replace the gunk, depending on the country you live in. then if the Inflation valve (the valve that lets you know the pressure of your tyre whilst driving) contacts the gunk, they there is another $100 for replacement. I put together my own spare tyre.

[deborahogrady]

On top of the inconvenience and sometimes total fail of this kit, I called Hyundai Roadside Service. They wouldn't tow me to my tire dealer, only to the car dealer. Incredible.

[SeatoSkyCJ]

I just did this whole thing! THANK YOU for this

[chrisc.]

I almost pulled the trigger on a new Santa Fe until I discovered the lack of a spare tire. Ridiculous! Toyota Highlander just went to the top of my list. Are you listening Hyundai?

[slalibable]

I just had this happen to me, I did not realize they had a can of high-tech fix-a-flat in the trunk. What a waste. Once you use this, you must replace the tire. They also do not give you the wrench part (only the socket) for the nut lock, so I could not even change the tire if I were to borrow a jack from my husbands car. So Hyundai just guaranteed three things: 1 - I have to have the car taken to a hyundai dealer, 2 - I have to replace the whole tire, and 3 - I won't be buying a hyundai again. I was not even given the option of purchasing the tire accessory kit (costs $194) with the jack and emergency parts that I would need to replace the tire if it was taken to another garage.

[TersebutlahKisah]

I rather have the spare tire instead of these.

[samquinn]

My wife had a side wall puncture on a rear tire on a Friday evening during rush hour. This kit would not work so the tow driver had to call a flat bed which was a 90 minute wait in the dark on a busy highway. Once back home, I had to remove the tire and leave car on a jack stand and use another car to bring the bad tire to a tire shop and have it replaced. What a complete fail on Hyundai part to save $175 on not including the spare. Lucky the car was under 3 years old, so Hyundai roadside assistance paid entire bill but what an inconvenience.

[alaysiakayebutler]

If the sealant hasn't expired then if you have a small puncture, and if it works, you still have to replace the sealant for a couple hundred bucks..

[sude]

Had a nightmare without the spare tyre.
I own i30 kombi Mild hybrid (which dostn't have spare)
During the trip my tire got burtsted. The only option is there tow the vehicle for near by unauthorised service center (due to holiday) who ripped us.

My friend picked me and my family. Just think about the situation that there is no cell network and winter season.

[vl]

I rather get a car that comes with a spare tire. I don't have all that time to keep checking the tire pressure.

[mark]

Hyundai has a large section of the auto market for Obvious reasons of price points and LONG warranties (compared to Totota and GM) but I agree with the other comments absolutely. My WIFES NEW 23 Elantra Limited hybrid came with a DONUT and I still bought a full size rim and spare for her (so she has two spares). I just bought a 23 Sonata Hybrid and NO donut no spare just mobility kit. What did I do? Just purchased a full size IDENTICAL machined rim from HM (Hubcap Haven in MN) and full size spare tire. I'm currently purchasing a small jack. No substitute for immediate road side assistance (YOU or ME) and no one is going to use a silly tire mobility kit with tons if restrictions. The minute Hyundai sends surveys I'll reply to them the same way

[eileencollins]

I was seriously considering purchasing a Tucson... but when I realized no spare tire, I have eliminated Hyundai on my list. Having had the experience of a side wall blowout, I want to know that I have a spare.

[dufensmertz]

No spare is a deal breaker for me living rural with dirt roads .
