I do carry two spares but I have the space, and have never needed more than one spare. I agree with SteveF, muddies are tougher. I have All Terrains...
Dru, if you check your tires, you could always replace the 2 worst and keep the olds as spare. Or replace the 4 on the ground and keep the best 2 olds for spare... Don't know if anyone in the convoy will have tire pliers or similar. If we do, then a carcass could be enough...
And the last thing, in our large convoy of JKs and WKs, what are the chances that more than one car will be running the same wheel and tyre size? We can "loan" if needed. We can ask around at the next meeting.
