So all they would be able to do is tow the car or change the tire for me, which doesn't help if I don't have a spare.

I regularly drive through rural areas. I really can't imagine running without a spare. In fact, I would upgrade to the OEM full-sized spare setup if I didn't need all my trunk space.

Ditto.
