I picked up the RX-8 for the EV conversion (don’t worry, I’ll make a post about the car later) and I’m driving it a little to get a baseline feel for the car. One of the things that I discovered was that the space saver spare tire was not standard equipment and the car that I bought did not have one. Instead, there’s a little box in the trunk with fix-a-flat and an electric compressor. This would be a usable solution except for the car has tire pressure sensors in the tires. Filling them with fix-a-flat would destroy the sensors which are fairly expensive to replace. I happen to come across this video on plugging tires and it seems like something that can reasonably be accomplished on the road side. I think I’ll go find a kit to put in the trunk of the RX-8 just in case.
