How many took their spare tire off and left in their garage for daily driving?

For those that did, how far is your daily commute?

Leave mine in the garage all the time. Been on 3 trips over 3000 miles without it. I know its stupid, but just dont have the room for it. I'll probably be walking tommorrow from a flat , now that i posted this.

Left mine in the garage forever - then finally got a Gobi rack, and now I don't leave home without it!

I'm thinking of doing the same. Couple of guys around here drive with some spray stuff with them and they will fill the tire with that if flat happens...

Mine is on the rack. Although I've never had a flat in my H2 I somehow start thinking I will the moment I leave it in the garage.

If you are driving in an urban area mainly in daylight hours i wouldn't worry about it and leave it the garage. For longer trips, and obviously wheelin', bring it along. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>X2 I know the minute I leave it, I will need it. I've only had one flat with these type/size of tires, and that was after we picked up a HUGE piece of metal off the freeway in our pickup. During daylight, but on the 5 lane bridge on the side of the road. Very scarey. I leave mine on the roof rack now, cuz I have crappy Karma. Plus my roof rack won't allow me to fit in the garage, so I'm reduced to outside in the rain, or in the shop under the leaks.

Went 60K miles last year with two Hummers--no spares--a waste of space inside and out.

A flat is what AAA is for.

Fixed again!

I thought that if you had a flat and didn't have a spare, they would charge you to bring one out cuz you wouldn't have one to put on. But I'm not 100% sure about that. Maybe someone else would know? Call the Onstar lady! She'll know.

For those of you who leave the spare behind, do you have the models with the inside-the-back spare? If so, does anyone make an aftermarket rear spare carrier? Would that solve your problem? I don't mind mine at all on the back (though I will probably loose the hard cover - like the tire showing better). Also, if I ever really space out (don't plan on it), I'd rather the spare to bump some hidden pole when backing up than my truck.

I have the carrier from an 04 and it sucks vs the 05/ 06 setup. They rattle and still block your view somewhat. If you back into something hard enough, it's not just yout tire, because that tire than hits your rear gate too.

I just like the clean look back there. I'm going to put the fullsize GOBI rack up top and be done with it.

I really take too many trips to the mountains and down south in the state to leave a tire behind. I take equipment in and out of the back and that tire is a PIA sometimes.

About a year w/no tire. 20K+ per year.

I haul stuff with the open tailgate too much to not do it.
