True.

But personally I feel its hard to beat a spare that matches the other tires so that if you have a blowout in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night you can fit your spare and worry about fixing the damaged tire in the morning and just keep driving at your normal speed.

(I have had a blowout in the middle of the night without a sound spare and its no fun.)

Second best choice is a spare the same diameter.

Last choice is a midget spare.
