Spare Tire replacment?
Greetings,
I recently got my tire pressure light on, but all my tires were okay, so I checked my spare in the trunk and found it was flat with a hole in the side wall. Do I need to buy a whole new spare wheel with the tire? or can I just replace the spare tire?

Changing Flat Tire
I’m 76 years old and only remember changing one flat tire on the side of the road in the past 61 years of driving. Doing so, now days you are risking life and limb.
A spare and a jack take a big piece of trunk space, especially if you carry a spare that is the same diameter as one of my 245/45/20s. Concealed carry would also be good idea in the event you do depend on a spare tire. These are heavy tires on our cars too, not a job for most women and many older men like myself with spinal stenosis.
