Before traveling without a spare tire, call a couple tire dealers and ask if they stock your xxx-xx-xx.5 sized tire. If they say they would have to order and it might take a week, Consider what you would do with a flat tire for that one week wait.
Agreed, but on the flipside, if you do this and they all say they carry your tire size in stock or could get it quickly if need be...Then maybe spending the $$$ to put on a spare tire may be a waste of $$.
I actually did this (contacted several tire dealers) some time ago. Practically every one I talked to said they would either have my 19.5" tire size in stock, or could get their hands on one very quickly (same day). Ultimately, this was part of why I chose NOT to carry a spare, as it just seems like a huge waste of $$.
