I'm not sure I even understand.

You replace the spare with a 'worn' unmounted tire. Then fix it alongside the road like a bicyclist? An impolite person would say you're freakin' nuts.

I hadn't carried a spare from the 80s to the 10s. I haven't needed a spare since the 90s when I cut off a big black truck in traffic and he followed me into a store parking lot and cut the valve stems off with a nipper. The two on the far side of the car, where I wouldn't see it when I came out of the store.

It took two spares to get out of that one.
