We got a nail in our tire and it was completely flat in the morning. A can of fix-a-flat and a slow drive six miles back to Big Pine saved us. Imagine if it happened 50 miles into dirt roads. The cheap factory doughnut spare tire wouldn't cut it. I bought a real full sized spare after this educational experience.
