Do you carry a spare tire?
Just wondering if you all carry a spare tire or if you rely on roadside assistance programs. On our last motorhome, I payed to have a spare tire carrier made and mounted under the rear. I'm wondering ...

Maybe you have never had 3 flat tires in one day. It has happened to me twice.
Overloaded? Old? Inflation?
Back in the 1960s tires were crummy. We had some old baloney skin tires and bought retreads because we had no money. They did not hold up well even at speeds below 55 mph.
The other problem has been driving on rough roads covered with things like basalt which can fracture into sharp fragments. Modern radial tires have a lot of flex in the sidewall. Even 8 ply rated truck tires may have only a couple of plys in the sidewall and are prone to punctures.
