I guess so. My personal reckoning is that:
Punctures are very rare these days. It must be at least fifteen years since I have had one
These days I don’t want to change a wheel myself. Certainly not on a busy road or motorway.
I belong to the AA. They carry an emergency replacement wheel.
There is a real cost in fuel carrying a spare wheel about.
Overall the benefit of having a spare wheel - perhaps saving an hour or two waiting for the AA every 20 years are so small I am happy to take that risk.
