Where's the spare?

As you rolled off the lot for the very first time in your brand-new car, you probably took a moment to admire the plethora of incredible features. Leather interior, heated seats, CarPlay and lane assist were at the top of your list when considering which cool car to buy. But did it ever cross your mind that despite all those fancy features, your dream car would be short of a spare tire?

Approximately 33% of vehicles that roll off the production line aren’t equipped with a spare tire. As car manufacturers attempt to reduce the vehicle weight and increase fuel efficiency, they’ve left many drivers at risk of being stranded without an immediate solution. This creates serious problems for those who encounter bad luck on the blacktop. Fortunately, we’ve engineered the perfect solution. 

Has the global trade uncertainty affected Modern Spare in terms of inventory and price increases?

Yes and no –

Since our humble beginnings in 2016, relying on single manufacturing partners—and more so, partners in some countries that are vulnerable to trade conflict—is something we have avoided. This has proven effective over the years, and we hope it will help us navigate what may come in 2025.

We don’t anticipate significant price increases, if any, in the coming months. The real challenge may be disruptions in global shipping later in 2025 that delay shipments and put strain on inventories.

Thankfully, we’re well stocked now, and most new orders are being shipped out immediately.

Consider this:

If you are thinking of purchasing a spare tire, now may be a good time—just in case the supply disruptions cause delays or lengthy inventory issues.

If you have questions on this or need help selecting the right kit, our spare tire experts are available by phone or email.

Thank you,
– Modern Spare
