Other manufacturers, including GM and Hyundai, don’t provide spare tires on some of their vehicles, though they typically provide an emergency tire-inflator kit that injects sealant inside a tire and is supposed to seal punctures.

Some report they bought a compact temporary spare and a jack, and stashed both in the trunk just in case. BMW owners’ forums are filled with discussions about whether to stick with run-flats or replace them with conventional tires.īased on forum discussions we’ve seen, the lack of storage space for a spare tire hasn’t deterred all 3 Series owners. We’ve also seen complaints from BMW owners that the run-flats wear out faster than regular tires, though that could be due at least in part to individual driving styles. Some BMW owners complain that although the run-flats have enabled them to safely get to the side of the road, they have had difficulty finding a replacement tire at a tire shop the same day. BMW says that run-flat tires eliminate the need for a spare tire. Like most BMW cars and SUVs, the 3 Series comes with run-flat tires that are supposed to be able to travel up to 150 miles after they go flat. No, the BMW 3 Series does not have a spare tire or space in the car’s trunk designated for storing a spare. Does the 2013 BMW 3 Series come with a spare tire?
