Do Chevy Sparks have spare tires?

We recently bought my daughter a Chevrolet Spark, and I want to make sure she knows about all of the safety features. Does it have a spare tire?

Understanding your vehicle’s safety features is definitely an important part of car ownership! Chevy Sparks do not have spare tires.
In general, manufacturers don’t include spare tires in subcompact cars because they take up a lot of the already-limited cargo space and weigh the vehicle down, effectively decreasing their fuel efficiency.
You can purchase an aftermarket spare to keep in your Spark, as well as the necessary equipment to perform a side-of-the-road tire change. However, keep in mind that there is no designated storage space for these items, and they will take up a significant amount of room.
Instead, the Spark is equipped with a tire sealant and compressor kit. This can help you deal with any emergency tire punctures or low air pressure.
Fortunately, complete tire blowouts are rare—especially if you practice proper tire maintenance. Thus, the tire repair kit should be sufficient in the off chance that you get a flat (provided that you know how to use it).
As an added layer of protection, we suggest purchasing a customized

policy that includes roadside assistance. That way, you’ll never be stuck on the side of the road, trying to do a DIY repair by yourself.
