I had a '97 Morgan +4 in the UK. Came around a corner (at speed) and hit a chunk of concrete. Cut the sidewalls in two curb side tires, and damaged one of those rims. Waited 90 minutes for a flatdeck (at least it was free, included in my insurance).

I didn't start carrying two spares though. Sometimes s**t just happens.
