Maybe I'm just a very lucky person, but my wife and I combined have driven probably close to a million miles and I can't recall having ever changed a tire road side. I can only recall maybe a few punctures ever, fortunately only causing a slow enough leak that it was discovered at home or the destination.
Still, with full-size spares having gone the way of the dodo and space-savers better than nothing but not that great, this is a welcome change as long as tire prices don't become exorbitant.
I put a solid rubber tire on my wheelbarrow years ago. It'll outlast the wheelbarrow. Greatest home garden purchase ever.

- catalogia 7y ago> "Still, with full-size spares having gone the way of the dodo" This bugs me. It's probably fine in most situations, but I drove across Canada last year and I felt obliged to have a full-sized spare in the back seat the entire way, taking up space. I didn't feel like I could trust one of those "donut" spares on long sparsely traveled roads like that.
