Do you carry a spare wheel/tyre?

[PVCGriff]

As per headline. Given the weight & size of a full-size spare do you think that it is worth carrying one? Tempting fate maybe, but I can't remember the last time I had a flat in the car.

Thanks, Glider
Context. I have a 2018 motorhome with 850 miles on clock shod with Michelin Agilis Camping tyres. I am looking to change to Cross Climates for a 6 week winter break. Is it worth putting a 5th tyre onto the spare?

Consensus seems to be - take the spare. Now I need a 5th winter tyre!

Why not leave the summer tyre on the spare? It'd get you off a hard shoulder or whatever, and buy you time to get your puncture repaired, or in a worst case scenario, a replacement tyre.

Would that be legal (in relevant European countries that require winter tyres)?

We have the same tyres on our campervan (Michelin Agilis Camper), and they are already marked M+S. They were ok in the snow. Do you need to change the tyres?

I appreciate 3-peak snow tyres are better (I have a set for the main car), but tyres marked M+S are usually sufficient.

I understand that the 3 peaks symbol is a requirement in certain alpine countries. I have played safe and now have some Agilis Cross Climates to fit. Need now to sell 4 nearly new Agilis Campings!
