if both tires are in good shape, and you have a reasonable ability to look and not run over crap that causes flats, forgo the spare. extra weight and space.
Ive really only carried a spare when touring in latin america, and even then I didnt even get a flat.
all my other tours over nearly 30 years ive never carried a spare tire, buuuuut made sure the tires were in good shape and use the old noggin and eyes to not abuse the tires running over junk.

just some other internet guys opinion.
