We have the 18" storms and a couple of weeks ago my boyfriend ripped the tyre. Unable to use the foam (as it would be useless with a rip) he rang Honda Assist. The AA promptly turned up and towed the car home, how embarrassing! Thankfully it was only about 2 miles from home. However then had to ring around trying to get a new tyre (at the cheapest price for a Michelin Pilot Sport - £150). Then had to get the wheel off and take it to the tyre place a couple of days later when they got the tyre in. Really considering the spare now, more because of the 3 days off the road. At least with a spacesaver you can still use the car.

Gutted at the time but soon forgot when back behind the wheel!
