Seriously, it's been almost 30 years since I've done a puncture. Yes it can happen just like a broken engine or an accident.

Statistically, there are more accidents than punctures or blow out a sidewall (unless your tires are finished, which can also cause an accident).

If you're scared, you stay home.

And be careful with the small spare tires, they are less high than the regular tires and you may burn a differential.
Dumbest post I've read in a long time.

Tire failures happen at the rate of 7 per second. On average, each person will have 5 flats in their lifetime. It's entirely cost effective and practical thing to prepare for. The notion of comparing it to engine problems is as absurd as your post. Having a spare RFT is a prudent and practical thing for some of us. Accommodating that would make the design better and grow the market. The snobs may not like it tho.
