The boy is taking his 2019 Kia Soul back to college for Sophomore year so making sure everything is sorted before he goes.

Go to check on condition of the donut and location of jack and WTF, this thing has no spare or jack.

Oddly though it's got what appears to be a pump and some hoses all neatly shrinkwrapped.

Well the pump is nice thing to have but what good is it if you get a flat and the tire won't hold air.

So off to the interwebs to see what a donut will cost me and how quickly I can get one here.

Sorted a few options, none I was really thrilled with but it is what it is.

Not sure why but I google Kia spare tire and find an article that says Kia started not including spares back in 08' and cars now come with a TMK, tire mobility kit.

The shrinked hose, it's actually a short hose connected to a canister of tire sealant that along with the pump is the solution the cars now come with.

I've never had much success with sealants in a can and I know tire shops are not crazy about it but it looks like a very well thought out and quality kit.

Even has a built in pressure gauge.

He will be in Tulsa so not worried about him being stranded in the sticks.
