Do I need to carry spare tire?
Is there a valid reason to carry the extra weight of spare tire? Will roadside assistance show up with tire mounted to wheel and then change it? There is no way I could change it myself.

I carry a spare for sure. I can change my own tire long before any help would arrive. That's if I'm even in an area with cell phone coverage. I don't know who I would even call for help really. I assume you have to pay these roadside guys for the privilege of being able to call them. Paying for that and an overpriced replacement tire isn't for me.
Maybe on your pickup.this is a class A forum.
Maybe you don't have the expertise or physical capacity, but many of us do have the capacity to change class A tires while on the road. I for one have the capacity to change rear hub seals and front wheel bearings while on the road. So don't discount the capacity of your fellow RVers.
