Default Spare?

I was just reading the factory print out of a C7 for sale on a major auction site and while skimming the list of included equipment, I ran into: "9L3 - SPARE TIRE"

Do C7s come with a spare tire?

If so, I would be pleasantly surprised, since my C6 was not designed with any place to store a spare...

First I've heard of spare for a Vette since the C4. Not sure I believe it especially since C7's come with runcraps

From Cadillac/GM Truck info:

9L3 - Spare tire delete


From Malibu info:

9L3 - Tire, spare, not desired

Nothing found for Corvette specifically.

No spare! Think about it. You get run flats. Why would you get a spare?

Can't believe everything you read. Especially from a web site. Those are just typed out by minimum wage employees. Much of it is copied and pasted from other car information from the same manufacturer. That's how you see some bogus information in the owners manual. Should it be that way? No

Ken, from what I've read so far, the Michelin's are much better than the Goodyears.
