The message is OK, but the subject line didn't invite your comments. Sorry! So what do you think?

Did a search and only got the "carry a compressor and fix-a-flat" answer.

I have a new S and want to rplace the 16" Dunlops with 205/50/16 P Zero Nero's from Tire Rack. What's the objectin to going to a junkyard and grabbing a small Civic spare doughnut? Why is the compressor and the possible mess from Fix-a-flat superior to a small doughnut spare that you could strap in the boot? This is my first post, so I apologize if this has been answered.
