Default No Spare Tire in Optima

My 2012 Optima came without a spare tire. I don't think I can live with the included tire mobility kit. Has anyone found a supplier for a donut and tools?

Shouldn't you be able to buy those from the Dealer? Although another market may be cheaper.

Are you sure about that? Do you have a part # or are you sure this is not just the tire. Another dealer told me that the tire itself should be available soon for about 1/2 the cost of the spare kit.

Wow, shouldn't thecar come with the donut for free? I certainly hope the price of the spare wasn't included in your price of the car lol. I would demand that they give you a donut and floor jacks etc. every car should come standard with it.

Yeah I would rather have a spare than that kit. What happens in a severe blowout?
