No-spare is a no-way for me, even though I'd rather carry a fix-a-flat kit instead of nothing at all if I had no option.

I'm not about to pay for a tow truck or any service fees. I now carry a full size spare with me. Since it's only a 14" rim it's only ~25 lbs.

If I were too concerned about weight, I'd rather use a donut spare instead of nothing. Even though it was not so usual in my country until some years ago, folks who already had cars fitted with a donut spare used to resort to motorcycle tyres on their assembly once the stock one became due to a replacement.
