I was really taken aback today to learn I don't have a spare tire. I have what they call run-flat tires, however, I didn't think taking a chance driving on it since the tire is flat as a board. Has anyone else discovered this or am I just late?

Run-flats are standard. They work fairly well. Make sure you replace them with run-flats when you get new tires.

This is extremely common for vehicles in this size/class.

Is it required for the OEM rims?

The rims will fit non-run-flat tires, but since the QX30 doesn't come with a spare, it would leave you in a predicament if you experienced a flat tire.

Best to stick with run-flats, imo.

yes, I Knew this a long time post, I’ve just sign up for this web, I knew the tire didn’t have it since I got the car in 2018 at the dealer, I’ve had a bad experience also having it punched at the expressway, you can’t run and you can’t keep going for long, the tire will sound like being destroyed, I had to stop at a gas station get a plug and plug the hole, refill the tire and loose it later of course, you can’t put a plug on it, and costed me around $400.00 for a new one installed, it happened twice in different situations, very frustrated not having spare, luckily I had a tire warranty that I bought from the dealer.
