I'm pretty sure my 9000 came with a pair of gloves for changing the spare, so I guess times have changed! I tossed the donut for an extra full size spare I had anyway since there was room in the well. Certainly cars get a lot fewer flats than they used to, but even if it happens every few years it could still mean being stranded for hours or overnight, stuck in a bad area, missing an important flight or meeting, etc., and that's really not something I'm okay with. Maybe okay for a pleasure type car, but not a 9-5! Very disappointing to hear they've done this, and then charge a fortune for a spare if you want one too.
