Whether you aregoing to tow it or not, you will find that many modern cars do not have a spare tire, not even a temporary spare. With more than 90% of the population living in major urban areas, car sellers can assume road service and replacement tires are readily available.
I've not had to use a full size spare on any car I've bought since 1992, and have not been able to include a spare in a rotation program since 1980 because of special wheels or minispares.
But not living in an urban area, and usually travelling in wide open spaces, I like the idea of carrying a spare tire I can actually use.
