I have been led to believe that in parts of the Yukon and the
Northwest Territories and other northern places, that road service is
kinda of spotty and the possibility that the responder would have the
proper size tire available make the need for carrying a spare a bit
more necessary. I'm sure there are areas where lack of communications
might make contacting road service a bit dicey also. Not being the
expert on that, I bow to your superior knowledge of that area.
