I do that with all my vehicles - minus the fire starting kit. A habit from living in Michigan where it can be subzero and you are on the side of the road freezing. Hat, gloves, spare jacket, poncho, and a wool blanket. The water was added in Oregon for earthquakes. I also added some N95 masks for post earthquke. (Imagine the dust after every brick building collapses)

I'd like the same diameter tire too but that isn't what is included in most vehicles here. I upgraded the spare in on the van after limping down a forest service road for more than an hour on a space saver. I just kept the best of the old tires after I upgraded and bought a steel wheel for the tire.
