Polestar 2 will be my first car with no spare tire, I made some research to be ready, just in case.
Unlike "the other brand ev", the Polestar 2 is delivered with everything necessary, neatly secured in the frunk (jack, 12V compressor, tire repair kit)
But... fellow electric drivers in another forum mentioned that tire sealing compounds have a downside : The interior of the tire gets really messy and all the gunk has to be cleaned when fixing the tire for real, including the TPMS sensor. If you waste too much time before the compound injection and the real repair, it can get difficult to clean.
So, I ordered a tire plug kit and watched some how-to videos on Youtube.
I also bought a nice multi-tool to able to remove a nail / screw in the tire, if that occurs.
Do you have any no-spare-tire flat experience to share ?
