If it is a tow vehicle and it is towing, it has no business with a mini-spare. A tow vehicle should have a full sized tire/wheel as a spare. Of course this is JMO, but it is how I would operate.

I would just put my full size spare on and keep going. :D

Mini spare? Get a better TV. Have not had a mini spare on a TV personally at all.

Who would own a TV without a full size spare? I would call ERS.
