Because you carry a tire pump realizing you may need it. It is the price you pay for running 19 inch Firestone tires or 600-16 tires of any brand. On my everyday car I get about one flat per hundred thousand miles. At the rate I drive my Model A I don't think I will live long enough to put one hundred thousand miles on my Model A. I think I will take the chance of having to pump up my spare if I need to use it.
