Do all cars have a spare tyre?

No, not all cars have a spare tyre. In recent years, some car manufacturers have started to eliminate spare tyres as a way to save weight, increase fuel efficiency, and create more storage space in the vehicle. Instead, some cars come with tyre repair kits or run-flat tyres - which allow drivers to continue driving for a short distance with a punctured tyre.
