I started doing this a couple of years ago. I've driven close to 30,000 miles in that time and haven't had to use it yet; in fact, I haven't had a flat in 50,000 miles on my current Continental tires. (The previous OEM Yokohamas flatted twice in 45,000 miles).

I ditched the spare mainly to free up the storage space. Now I can fit, entirely under the trunk floor and hidden, a sleeping bag, pillow, tool box, and pump. With the rear seat replaced by a platform, I can store everything for a weekend camping completely out of sight.
