A spare tire assembly for pre-installation in tires to protect tires when flattened includes an insert that is resilient. The insert is toroidally shaped and defines a central opening. The central opening is complementary to a rim of a wheel, such that the insert is positionable between the rim and a tire that is to be coupled to the rim. A cover is positioned over an outer surface of the insert. The cover is configured to shield the insert from potential damage as the wheel rotates with the tire in a deflated condition. A user is able to operate a vehicle having a flattened tire that is configured with the insert for a period of time without damaging the flattened tire.
