You can pay an extra $200 for a full size wheel and spare tire if you really want one.
I haven't had to use a spare tire in the last 25 years, and that was a flat tire on a rental car, so I had no air pump. The 1994 pickup has a still new full size spare that has never been installed on an axle. The 1996 car has a small dounut spare that also has never been used. I do carry a small 12 volt air compressor in the trunk of the car ($30 & weighs less than 5 pounds) and a hand pump in the truck.
About every ten years I'll get a nail in a tire but it's always a slow leak that can be checked and maybe pumped up every 30 to 60 minutes of driving. I'll keep traveling to limp into a town for repair or keep traveling to my over-night stop if it is after business hours. I take the vehicle to a repair shop the get the tire fixed and I'm on my way.
The 12 volt compressor is much easier to use than a hand pump.
