I know this well. Quite a few years ago, out to dinner - Flat on a back road - had the spare and the compressor but thought while I was changing it if the 15 year old spare would hold air - spare on and inflated and held air - looked at the trunk for a minute - looked back at the 16x9 Fuchs rear for a minute - looked in the car for a minute while my date looks at me a little puzzeled - she wasn't overly happy with me when I suggested that if she would get her cute dress and all in the backseat so the Fuchs could ride shotgun - she asks if it would make sense to leave it on the side of the road and come and pick it up later - I was a gentlemen - I waited with her while her room mate came and picked her up because ain't no way in hell that wheel is going to sit on the side of the road......true story - 2nd and last date.
il let you guys think about that one...

this is what I have in the trunk. That and the small battery should give the most weight saving and still do its work when needed

Space saver on the Fuchs is nice. I saved a front tire from when it was replaced and had it mounted on a spare Fuchs I picked up at dcAuto. When I travel, it goes on the back seat wrapped in this ...

The space saver spare is there in the event of a local flat tire.

Space saver on the Fuchs is easy enough, I have done it several times. It is a matter of finding a tire shop wrench willing to spend some time working on it. Issue is popping the colapsible tire off the rim's bead. After that, lots of lubricant and it goes off/gets on the rim as any tire.
