Also, re: Chrysler Pacifica:
I learned at an inopportune time that the spare tire was an optional extra on the Pacifica. I never heard of such a thing. I recommend that you check the storage area for the spare and see if you have one.
Then decide if you want to get a new one. Amazon sells space-saver spares for the Pacifica. But the vendors are deliberately vague on whether it is a tire only or a tire/wheel combination. If your car did not come with the spare, then you will need a tire/wheel combination.
The salesman who sold me the car conveniently overlooked the fact that the car did not come with a spare. Perhaps he thought it might goose the sale.
If Chrysler is doing this, there is a possibility that other manufacturers are too. I recommend that if you car is 5 years old or newer, check for the existence of a spare.
Optionally, get an aerosol sealer/inflator for the car. I’ve never used one, but they have been selling them for years.
If you are in the Milwaukee battery system, they make a very nice air pump. Cheap enough if you already have a battery and charger. Pricey otherwise. Easier to use than a plug-in version.
