I think the problem is that for safety regulations the car must be equipped with either a spare tire or runflats...
it seems a lot of automakers are opting for run flats over a donut, I suppose it's easier to just install different tires then it is to design and build in locations to store a donut and jack.
...not to mention the concept of a run flat sells better than trying to convince someone that they don't have them because of the performance benefits.
