Another argument is that the extra weight of the spare has to be hauled around for months or years before it gets used, if ever, and fuel is used for that extra weight costing the owner and increasing carbon emissions.
For me this makes sense, driving for 20 years and not used a spare tire once, hyundai also offers 24x7 road assist
I drive a pickup truck and I go to pickup truck kind of places with it like lumber yards, industrial suppliers, landfills and other high FOD locations. I get more flat tires because I drive where the nails are.
My sedan goes to the grocery store and a few restaurants and has never had a flat.
So the guy you’re responding to most likely doesn’t drive through lumber and construction sites all day. Most people don’t. That’s why most people don’t have 20 flats a week from driving around in nails.
You ever think maybe you’re an exception because of your habits that most people don’t have?
My commute has always been at least 20 miles, and I’ve had 1 flat tire in 10 years. That one was a nail I ran over in a construction site, which tbh is to be expected.

touch wood!
I don’t believe you’ve never had a flat in 20 years. I get a flat every three or four years.
What the hell are you doing that results in a flat every few years? This is NOT normal.

Hence why I said “my sedan that [pretty much stays on normal roads] has never had a flat.”
Then why are you surprised the person you’re responding to hasn’t had a flat?
I’m…not?
Oh ok. 👍
