Default spare tire

do you guys keep your spare tire in the back? Im thinking i should just take this out to lighten my load. Stock tires shouldnt have any problems right?

Ummmm......first car? Weight reduction for those teeny tires is minimal. Have you ever considered what a jam you will be in if you pick up a screw in the road, or a piece of metal cuts the tire?

Keep the spare. The weight savings are NOT worth the hassle if you get a flat.
At the track...sure take out te spare/jack and run with 1/4 tank of fuel.
