Right, I did not think of that. MPG is a big factor and half the new
cars now have no spare tire. Tires are pretty good these days, but I
still want a spare. About 4 years ago I had a sidewall puncture and no
sealer would help. With no spare, I'd be screwed on a cold, rainy,
December night. The roadside assistance included with the car was nice
to have too.
