100+ agree on the keep a spare I'm the garage idea. Wife works about 50 minutes commute and we have tow reimbursement with our insurance.

Also due to availability when I bought her new tires I ended up with five. (found set of 3 and 2 no singles). Historically I've lost one tire each set of 4 so I'm ahead of the game.
Agree it's not a bad idea to have an extra tire. But some people don't live in a house and live in a city (big apartment garages-- don't let you store them and most smaller buildings might not have garages). I'm on 105K miles of RFTs the past 13 years--never any issues.
