There are some newer cars that don't. They sometimes don't even have a spare!

It's a nightmare. They have those mobile compressors instead. How am I supposed to get to the next mechanic if I have to use the compressor for every 2km? And then they have this puncture safe paste that the compressor can mix in, which turns a 10$ repair into a 200$ repair.

It's insanity! And using the compressor takes even longer than just changing the wheel!

My 10 years old volvo does not have a spare only some spray can repair kit. However it has all the tools to change a tire
