Spare Tire
What do you all do about not having a spare tire? What if you get a hole to big to be patched?
What do you do so you don't get stuck on the middle of no where?

Never crossed my mind... I guess in this day and age with BMW assist, cell phones, and wireless internet I think it's becoming less and less of an issue for me to worry about.
watch me just jinx myself

Don't worry getting stuck with a flat tire. Chances are minimal. Getting stuck with your SMG on the other hand...

This is good, aj. If you're at all like me, however, you might find that upper fence posts have a tendency to cause punctures.

Well Clyde some one is ready for that nail! 
I bought the same tire tote a set of 4, This Friday I will have my HRE's
so the originals will go in the tote, One for sure will go in trunk like your setup!
