However not sure that its a consumer right to have a spare wheel..!!
it's might be a bread and butter initiative to an organisation like "which?". they love this kind of thing. they often tackle whole industries on new trends. there would have to be a justification of course, e.g. this trend may be considered a safety issue - not that i'd stand up in a room and argue that point myself. that said, with the on-going shortage of rubber, the car industry may have a point to make. they could easily play the eco card, rightly or wrongly.
