Do BMWs Have Spare Tires?
Every car I’ve ever owned has a spare tire. I bought a BMW a few months ago and I can’t seem to find one on it anywhere. Do BMWs not have spare tires? I thought every car did!

I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having trouble finding the spare tire on your
BMW
. The reason you haven’t been able to locate it is that it’s not there. Most BMWs do not have spare tires. Don’t panic, though, BMW has come up with a pretty ingenious way of making spare tires unnecessary. Almost all BMWs made in the past twenty years have been equipped with run-flat tires. As the name suggests, run-flat tires are tires that have a stiff sidewall and/or an internal reinforcement system. This allows you to drive on a tire even if it’s flat–for a limited time, of course.
Congratulations on your new BMW, by the way! Before you head out on the road, though, you’ll need to get that new ride covered with quality
car insurance
. But don’t worry, it doesn’t have to cost you a fortune–or even take more than a few minutes–to get the coverage you need! All you have to do is download the
Jerry
app. Jerry will find and compare all the best available policies, then deliver the results right to your phone–all in about 45 seconds! Then you just tap to choose the one you like and Jerry will help you get everything set up! Drivers who use the fast, free, and easy Jerry app save an average of $800+ a year!
