On my trip west I am carrying a rear spare on the roof of my toad! It makes it look like I am going to Alaska and I have had so many questions and curious looks. I hope it is still there when I get back.

But, to better answer your question, I suspect you will find many if not most Newells do not carry a spare at all. In my case, I have two different tire sizes invovled as the steer tires are different from the rear tires. While I have not had a road failure the plan when not carrying a spare is to call my road service provider, Coach Net, and hope they can locate road service with the ability to bring a tire with them and do the change on the side of the road. I will, of course, have to pay a pretty penny for the tire. I am in no position to change a tire on my own. The one of the roof of the Jeep weighs 123 pounds without the wheel! Hope this helps.
