The contact was not aware that vehicle had a flat tire, but no spare tire. He was not informed before purchasing the vehicle that there was no spare tire. He was told he had a doughnut for use in case of a flat, but one was not included. The dealer was unable to answer questions about the tires. The manufacturer of the tires told him they have written letters to car manufacturers to tell consumers there was no spare tire. He wanted to replace the damaged tire only, but the vehicle manufacturer told him all the tires have to turn at the same rate, and that was why he could not replace only one tire.
