Anyone upgrade their hybrid spare tire kit?

It really depends on how much you want a spare tire and if it could mess with the warranty, since the electrical system is in that area.

That kit doesn’t make any permanent changes to the electrical system, and the cable latch is easy to access and holds up to regular use. I had warranty-covered electrical work done with the kit still in the car, so it wasn’t a problem. But dealers make the final call on whether a mod affects the warranty.

Before taking my car in for anything, I’d just remove it. How would they even know?

I think I’ll get this. I run over nails and screws at least once a year. Not dealing with a tow truck for a flat, that’s just a hassle.

I had a nail in my tire. The sensor showed low pressure, so I kept refilling it for two days. Then I took it to the dealer, and they plugged it. No issues since.
