Two! not one but two of the oem tires have bubbles in the sidewall. That is a blow out waiting to happen and god knows what damage that can do. I'm afraid to drive the car for fear that one of the tires could blow out and send me off into a ditch. To top it off, the car did not come with a spare tire (to save weight and improve gas mileage) so if it does blow out and I can safely control the car over to the side of the road, I'm screwed and stranded. This happened to me last year and I had to have the car towed to the dealer and buy a new tire. Blow outs are very dangerous. Now I have to call a towing company to get my car and go get new tires.

2013 Hyundai Elantra. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle tire issues. The consumer stated the vehicle was sold to her, without a spare tire. She discovered there was no spare tire, after her tire went flat. The consumer stated only a mechanical instrument came in the vehicle to put air in the tire. However, the instrument did not work correctly.

I find the lack of a spare or doughnut, not provided on this model to be a absolute accident and safety issue waiting to happen. Most flats today because of so much debris on our roads cause most tires to inccur damage unrepairable with a areosol can. As far as having road service solving and replacing the tire there are so many different senarios that affect the repair or replacement and towing of the vehicle consequently putting the driver and his passengers in harms way. These type breakdowns on busy highways and less traveled routes only expose the drivers and passengers to additional safety issues. If this unit had a doughnut spare it could be installed and on the vechile as soon and as fast as road service arrives. Issues on roads less traveled on holidays,weekends,and late and very early hours ,and the need to find a shop to purchase a tire and a place to spend the night become a larger issue than the flat tire. As far as not providing a spare because it eliminates weight and will increase mpgs is a bogus premise on the part of auto makers. Unfortunately I believe we will see injurys and sadly some deaths resulting because of the absence of a spare or doughnut. These sad circumstances will result in law suits and class-action litigation.

No spare tire, jack, or lug wrench was supplied with this car. Apparently several other manufacturers are doing the same, ostensibly to save on weight and achieve a higher mpg rating. This automobile was sold to my 21 year old daughter who had a blowout. Had she been in a dangerous situation it could easily have resulted in assault and/or death from a crime of opportunity. I have filed a complaint with the consumer protection agency and with Hyundai. Please stop automobile manufacturers from practicing this potentially criminally negligent sales practice immediately.
