Don't know about all vehicles. I see lots of mid-size and small cars with "toy" tires for spares.
I won't hardly drive a vehicle or pull a trailer that doesn't have a good spare.
If you don't have a good spare, then you need a friend or another vehicle to take you somewhere to get the tire fixed.
Had a blow out on my truck 30 miles from home. My fault, trying to run the tires as long as I could before replacing them. While I am well capable of changing a tire, I had never changed a tire on a truck and had no idea how to get the spare out, etc. Nice person helped. Now I know and yes I can.
Had a blow out on the small horse trailer, not far from home but way too far to try to limp home with 2 horses in the trailer. Another reason to have a good spare. Bad spot was on the inside of the tire and not easy to see.
Had a blow out while hauling our Ford 2810. James was behind me in his truck, hauling hay. Because we had a good spare for the trailer I was pulling, we got the tire changed and got on home.
I want a good spare both for what I'm driving and the trailer, if I'm towing one.
To me, its worth the extra money to run top quality tires on my trailers and vehicle. Its not safe for me to be pulled off the road with a tire or vehicle problem.
