$9 later and my ride weighs 30lbs less.

Don't get me wrong,the spare will be put back in if I drive further then 75 miles but that doesn't happen too often.

I have lost the spare in my car to my audio equipment, but instead I carry the "BMW M Mobility System" (BMW's glorified Fix-a-Flat and compressor) just in case. Hopefully I never have to use it though

I'm all about safety so I'll leave my spare in. I personally, through experience, don't believe a spare is needed anyway. As I've posted in the past, I drove to work 13 miles, 75mph down Interstate 40. When I got to work I noticed I had a flat (O psi). Other that a slight pull to the right the car ran fine. After resealing the tire I was back on the road and the tire still looks great.

So I have no worries about a flat tire in the Box, Run Flats live up to their name.
