Even if one did not carry a spare one would just call the tow truck and go to the tire repair shop to take care of it - no "insurance liability issues" to repair a regular tire - or one can even have the tow truck driver repair the tire with a plug and continue the journey immediately thereafter. If the tire is ruined - which is unlikely - the chances of finding a replacement in the size one needs are much greater. BTW, I'm planning on buying a spare and what is needed to install it.
