Do you carry your spare?

I am thinking about taking my spare tire off and leaving it at home.

 

Do you guys still keep yours with you? 99% of my driving is all local, never too far away from help or shops. Plus, I am getting bigger tires soon, so really, the factory spare will be useless to me anyways.

 

Thoughts?

Never thought about going without the spare just to save a little bit of weight. Myself, I prefer to have keep mine for the extra security. Easier to change the tire myself than to pay someone else.

 

Besides, when I worked in a tire shop, a guy brought in a really nice truck that was low on air. Long story short, I ended up changing his tire for him because he either didn't know how, or was just too lazy to do it. His girl friend wasn't too impressed, neither was I....

The fuel savings or .02 sec better acceleration aren't worth to be stranded w/o a spare tire.

And as far as my experience goes...one will have a flat when least expected and no one is around.

Plus as soon as you take it off you will have a flat and your cell phone battery will be dead. That is just the way it works.
