The big rigs don't normally come with a spare. We didn't have one on our new Phaeton. Fast forward to a few years later, got a beep on our Pressure Pro system that a rear tire was going down. Found a parking lot and pulled in and called road service. Took nine hours to get someone out with a used tire that would barely hold air. They wanted $600 for a new tire, only double what they normally cost. After that experience we decided to carry an unmounted spare. Anyone who comes to change a tire on a DP can mount it as well. We tow a Ford Sport Trac and the unmounted spare fits on the floor of the pickup bed. Never needed it yet, but have it just the same. We feel it is worth finding the space.
