I admire the DIY attitude and willingness get your hands dirty. I carry a set of tools and have been known to repair or at least rig things up so I can get it home but changing a tire would be almost last on my list of things I would try.
Working in construction I watched crews of 2 tire changers struggle with 22.5 wheels on truck cranes. It is doable but road side service is so cheap and with a self contained your wait will still be in comfort.
No doubt it would be, but what if you get a flat where no cell service. I am not even 60 yet I can change a flat on these beasts. It's not like you have to lift them. A big torque wrench to get the lugs tight. Impact to get them off. I can see a ring in the compartment where there used to be a spare. BUT!!! I'll give it a dry run to be sure I can handle it before I buy a spare. I will always have insurance to cover these emergencies.
