New cars come with those idiotic tire repair kits which wont help with most blowouts so im looking for ways to fit a spare tire in the boot where the kit sits. what are my options and can it be done?
 
most recent model cars really have only repair kits and space saver tires you need to inflate before they become a full-sized spare wheel. does yours have it? if not maybe check the make of your current tire and then just buy a spare for your own safety.
 
yes you can fit a spare tire in the boot where the repair kit is. check the size of the space first then buy a spare tire that fits. a compact spare works best for small spots. remove the kit and secure the tire so it doesn't move. it's simple if the sizes match.

whoa, i never knew this was a thing. do you have any idea about what years they started making these space saver tires?
 
Yeah, ditch the kit and get a real spare! Nissan has their own spare kit right? Otherwise, check online stores for other kits available
