If you do a search for 'spare tire wheel' you'll see that this has been discussed before. Several people initially thought this would be a good idea, but there are several problems with trying to carry a spare. The same wheel doesn't fit the front and the rear - Actually, almost nothing else fits the front. If you did carry something, you'd have to find someplace to put it . . . . leave one seatback down all the time? Strap it vertically to one of the seatbacks? You'd have to buy a jack and a lug wrench and find some place to stow those too

Maybe a better solution would be to buy something and keep it at home (or work) where you could have someone bring it to you in an emergency? Has this happened to you before? . . . . hitting something and destroying a tire so that you're stranded? I'm guessing it's a pretty rare occurrence for most folks . . . . maybe you've used up your bad luck and it will never happen to you again? (Knock wood) So far, it's never happened to me
