    First they switched to the mini-spares. Then they got rid of them altogether.

    If you’re lucky, there are little filler canisters and a cigarette lighter-powered air compressor to let you get slowly to a tire shop. Sometimes, not even that. If there’s a nail or a blowout, tow-truck city. Just hope it’s not out in the middle of nowhere in the dark or in bad weather.

        I’m not sure that’s strictly true, but it definitely makes the inside of your tire (and rim) a goddamn mess

      I could see that if they ran run-flats. If not, they could fuck off with that bullshit.
