I understand flat tires can happen, but in the hundreds of thousands of miles I've driven I've only had one. This doesn't say that I cannot get a flat but rather says statistically, based on my driving habits/history, that the chance of me getting a flat on any given day is very near zero. In the same time I've had 5 alternators die yet I don't carry a spare alternator in my trunk.
Car problems happen but honestly I would rather have the added trunk space than carry around a spare tire, spare alternator, spare radiator hoses and everything else that could possibly break. Tire repair kits, that can easily fit in the glove box, will fix 90% of tire punctures much quicker than putting a spare on anyway.
