New York S09140 mandates that all new motor vehicles sold or leased at dealerships include a spare tire.

New York S09140 amends the general business law to require that all new motor vehicles sold or leased at dealerships include a spare tire, regardless of whether they are equipped with standard radial or run-flat tires. A run-flat tire is defined as a tire designed to resist deflation when punctured, allowing the vehicle to be driven at reduced speeds for limited distances, but it cannot replace a spare tire for safety reasons or longer journeys to a repair shop. This law aims to enhance safety by ensuring that all new vehicles have a spare tire available.
