No spare tire with PAX

No spare tire with PAX
I have 2006 RL Tech+CMBS that came with PAX tires. The wheels and tires are changed to standard type and I have no spare tire in trunk. What have other people done in this situation? Do folks just drive around with no spare?

Never needed one, but you can find them used if you search around.

Get a donut. Don't depend on AAA or towing from your insurance company for a flat tire. If you have a flat in the middle of the desert or a blizzard, it will be hours of waiting for a tow when you could've put the spare on in less than 15 minutes.

Not as hard to find as one may think:

I didn't say it was a good option.

Yeah, I was thinking it would be better to have a spare in the trunk. How do people secure the tire in the trunk? The PAX RL has a storage area where the spare would normally go. I'd hate to eat up valuable trunk space since I have to carry a stroller.

Parts 11 and 12. There should be a hole in the bottom of the storage area that these parts mount/screw into.

Including the pieces and parts to secure the spare and tools in the trunk, I paid about $250. I have yet to need it but it's nice to know it is there if I ever do.
