1) spares can't be used in the rear
2) spares can't fit over any big brake kit
3) spares will be dead weight and useless

I ended up having a weird habit of either not running any spares, or leaving in a track wheel in the car.

Good point. If you upgrade the brakes, spare will become waste. This is one of the reason I'm still hesitant to upgrade the calipers.

I carried a can of puncture seal in my Talon instead of a spare. It will work fine for about 90% of the flats you may get as long as the bead is not broken or the tire actually torn. It isn't a permanent fix of course but it always would hold until I could get to a shop.

You should send everyone here a can of it so we all dont need to bring spares
