I cant see any reasonable advantage, they are more expensive, susceptible to damage, cannot be repaired, offer worse comfort and performance. All so that I dont have to change a tire?? No thanks I'll take the five minutes to change my spare and save me the aggravation. This is something that hasn't been fully invented yet.
Do they have a different body with a cavity under the trunk carpet to carry the spare? Do they have a compact spare wheel/tire combo that comes with the car? If this information is correct, I'm going to order the "European Spare Kit" for my car
