I recently bought this vehicle and there was no spare tire. I was aware there was no spare, but I was not aware none were available for purchase! My problem is that Kia has not certified a compact spare tire for this vehicle and probably wont for two model years. I understand the manufacturers can sell vehicles without a spare tire, but consumers are UNABLE to purchase a spare on their own for two model years! I believe NHTSA should at least require them to have a certified spare available for consumers to purchase before they can sell the cars to the public. In my opinion, this is a safety issue that could leave motorists stranded on the side of a road somewhere.
