Agree 100%. That is why I
Agree 100%. That is why I didn't get the CRV Hybrid. Here in Las Vegas, where summer temps are sometimes over 115 F, my wife and I, who are in our 70s, don't want to be stuck on the road with a sidewall blowout, waiting two or three hours for a tow. Toyota puts them in their hybrids, Honda should too. There is no real, honest reason not to. I had heard Honda couldn't as the battery took up too much room, yet Toyota figured it out. A spare is much more necessary than many of the so-called safety features I've disabled on my Honda.
