Common sense can't be beat. All the excuses in the world aint gonna help that flat magically fix itself. I carry tire plugs and onboard air but imo, still need a spare. What's that redneck commedian say? "You can't fix stupid"

That's like not wearing condoms because you don't like the feel!

Sure, you may get away with it the first 10 times... or 20... or 30...

But sooner or later, you'll regret not having the rubber.
i believe that is the best comparison i've ever heard..

Ill post up a pic of my jeep, with the spare tire and tire carrier removed, just as the op asked for. Mine is removed because my wheel/tire combo is prob close to 3x the rated load for the tail gate. If I go on a long drive or trail ride, ill do the same, throw it in the back. have to suffice till my tire carrier gets here. Ill get a pic up tonight.
