I ask because I have been driving a long time, i've probable needed a spare 1 time every 5 years. One of which was preventible if i was maintaining the car more properly (cords were showing).
True. My dad found a screw in one of his tires yesterday. Luckily, it wasn't too deep in. And even with that little thing, he's driven quite a bit too without needing a spare tire. But, I guess he's just paranoid without one. He recently ordered (and it just came in today) a spare tire kit for the Camaro.
