Fully agree, and would add that each individual has different reaction to risk, so we each may chose a different solution.

Considering the vast array of other options available on each new car, an option in this regard would not overcomplicate the buying experience.

Personally I would choose a full size spare every time. I do not get flat tyres very often, but when it happens it is usually very inconvenient. With a full size spare you can continue your journey and get the flat fixed at your convenience. The other options make fixing the tyre a priority.

For the present I am stuck with the space saver and am unwilling to spend the extra to change.
