For those that have said a spare isn't needed
I've needed the spare in almost every car I have owned since I started driving. A couple of the times it was due to a sidewall rip which could not be fixed with plugs or fix a flat (I do carry plugs and fix flats myself on the side of the road when it's possible but sometimes it just isn't). The last time it wasn't flat but I came out of work to find I had a bubble in the sidewall and didn't want to take a chance driving 60 miles on the highway like that.
I've also waited over 2 hours for roadside assistance at times when I've needed a tow, once was during a major rainstorm, I wouldn't want to do that just for a flat that I can change in under 10 minutes. I also do lots of driving in mountain areas where there is no cell phone coverage.
