In Nevada lots of people carry two spares, especially people that work on mines and chukar hunters. It is totally logical to carry two spares when the gas stations can be more than 100 miles apart. I have lost three tires in one day twice in my life. The last one was not that long ago.
Four summers spent traveling in AK and the Yukon, with travel trailers and a motorhome. In that time I had exactly zero issues with tires. Unless you are on the Dempster, or another truly remote wilderness road, reality is as Yeti plus describes it in his post.
