My spare is 22 lbs. A worn tire is (10% tread) is about 7 pounds. You would also need a fix-a-flat and a flat bar - 5 extra pounds. So I'd be saving 10 lbs... Doesn't sound like a lot but over the life of the car... Plus the flat bar could have other uses too.
You could use the flame bead setting method too to eliminate the need of the fix-a-flat. Just go light on the fuel
You could put the worn tire to go on in the engine bay to use the heat to expand it a little and facilitate getting the tire on while you're getting the bad tire off.
