I haven't taken it out of the car but I DID let the AIR out of it........that shaves about 2 1/2 lbs off dry weight.

2-1/2 pounds... Wow, you have some heavy air!

Yeah, the spare is not that heavy. My arm scale says about 15-20 lbs.

I say leave it in, better weight distribution. More traction and weight transfer at launch.
