My vehicle listed above did not come with a spare tire. Instead, it comes a Tire Mobility Kit that requires 14 steps to pump goo into the tire. Then drive it 4 to 7 miles, stop the vehicle, check the tire pressure, adjust it, and repeat as necessary. I would buy a spare tire and rim if there was a good way to store it but there isn’t.
Any suggestions?

Yep, that is a problem with newer electric and hybrid cars, not enough room for a spare, so the powers to be are guessing most people can't change a spare anyway to just call a tow truck to be dispatched to help. There is no good way to fix this problem, it would be good if the salespeople would tell you this when buying the car but for obvious reasons they don't.
