Aftermarket Spare Tire Kit for 2024 Prius Prime

The first puncture was likely a nail. The hole was small. The second puncture was a machine thread screw. That was the first tire I've had punctured by a blunt object. Object number 3 was a 6 inch long 1/4 inch metal rod. It had some sort of anti-corrosion coating on it. Only God knows where it came from. But once again a blunt object penetrating the tire. I'm driving the same route I've driven for 16 years with the 2017 Prius and the 2006 Envoy. The new Prius is definitely more fun to drive. I'm thinking that these tires are lighter and thinner which equal lower rolling resistance and better mileage but less puncture resistance. It is possible that my luck has just been crap for the last 9 months. The Ford F-150 was what I originally wanted, but the Prius was more practical. It will be paid for in 2 years and then I can take another look at the truck, reitre the Envoy, give/sell the 2017 Prius to the daughter. I've ordered the value spare and taken a screen shot of your list of parts needed for all cars and parts needed for the LE. I'll see how I like the fit of the spare by modding my foam inserts and if I don't like it I'll start ordering the OEM foam and such.

 

Just don't buy cars without spares. If and when car consumers start practicing this, the spares will be reinstated by the manufacturers, very quickly: you're communicating in the only language they under$tand.
