How many took their spare tire off and left in their garage for daily driving?
For those that did, how far is your daily commute?

I had the dealership remove mine before I took delivery in September. I think it looks a lot cleaner without it. However I have many question what year it is because it is not on the back like the 06's. Who cares, it fits a hell of a lot easier into the garage also. For long trips I can throw it up top ubtil then thats what Onstar is for I quess!!!

Went 60K miles last year with two Hummers--no spares--a waste of space inside and out.
A flat is what AAA is for.

I have the carrier from an 04 and it sucks vs the 05/ 06 setup. They rattle and still block your view somewhat. If you back into something hard enough, it's not just yout tire, because that tire than hits your rear gate too.
I just like the clean look back there. I'm going to put the fullsize GOBI rack up top and be done with it.
I really take too many trips to the mountains and down south in the state to leave a tire behind. I take equipment in and out of the back and that tire is a PIA sometimes.

Cool pic, Dan.
Old truck: only took the spare out when wheeling.
New truck: on the rear for now.

Ketoman11,
The dealership did a great job removing the carrier and the plugs look fine they actually replaced the bumper cover as well. My dealership charged me $700 to do the work!!! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

About a year w/no tire. 20K+ per year.
I haul stuff with the open tailgate too much to not do it.

Mine is on the rack. Although I've never had a flat in my H2 I somehow start thinking I will the moment I leave it in the garage.
If you are driving in an urban area mainly in daylight hours i wouldn't worry about it and leave it the garage. For longer trips, and obviously wheelin', bring it along. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>X2 I know the minute I leave it, I will need it. I've only had one flat with these type/size of tires, and that was after we picked up a HUGE piece of metal off the freeway in our pickup. During daylight, but on the 5 lane bridge on the side of the road. Very scarey. I leave mine on the roof rack now, cuz I have crappy Karma.  Plus my roof rack won't allow me to fit in the garage, so I'm reduced to outside in the rain, or in the shop under the leaks.
