No Spare Tire?

[Marc Newman]

I hope someone here can tell me logically why my 2012 Yukon Denali Hybrid...yes the BIG Yukon...does not have a spare tire and I didn't know it...I could see how they could think it's ok if I were connected for free to On-Star, but my flat occurred in the third basement level of my parking garage with absolutely no phone or satellite service...Why would I even think to ask if my car had a spare...even a doughnut...there's a ton of space under there. It's not like this is Yugo...I am absolutely flabbergasted at the stupidity of this, as if paying a little more for this luxury vehicle was at issue.

Did you talk to the dealer about it? Or even look in the manual?

That's why the car has a compressor and tire sealant. Someone should have explained all this to you when you bought.

Hybrid = save weight for 0.2 better mpg

Very funny to me that a spare tire would be eliminate on such a huge vehicle for the purpose of reducing weight. LOL

it is dumb but you can buy the compressor with the goo for cheap on ebay, I bought one for my truck (still have the spare) and we use it when the minivan isn't around (which has onboard air compressor).
