Newbee question again - flat tire on the road...

I purchased and carried a used tire that was was not mounted. That way, a roadside service employee could remove the defective tire and mount my used tire. I would run the used tire until I could find a place to purchase a new tire at a reasonable price. I carried the loose tire in the pass-thru compartment; worked well. Fortunately, I never had to use the spare tire. P.S. Sold the MH this past Friday. Going to chill out for a while until we decide what we want to do.
