What is the purpose of the Kia Sorento's full-size spare tire?

I recently noticed that my Kia Sorento has a full-size spare tire, but I'm not sure what the purpose of having a full-size spare is. Can you explain why Kia has chosen to include this in their design?

Having a full-size spare tire allows you to continue driving for longer distances in case of a flat tire. With a smaller temporary spare, you would have to replace the tire immediately.

It's also useful for off-road driving or in rural areas where tire repair shops may be far away. You can easily swap out the tire and continue your journey.

I recommend checking the air pressure of your spare tire regularly, as it can lose air over time. This will ensure that your spare is ready to use when you need it.
