I usually carried a light folding tire as well. And a small supply of duct tape. Never needed the tire or duct tape during 15,000 miles of touring. I can only remember 3 flat tires, two caused by Tuffy tire liners before I stopped using them. One was a rock pinch. So few I remember the details of every one! I generally carried 3 tubes. No good reason for that number.
