You can rip out the interior and it still weighs too much, so buy a spare and a little piece of mind.

I agree that the weight of the spare shouldn't matter as you can always remove the spare when you want to. Keep it in for driving around town or long road trips. If you decide to go to the track or take a spirited drive, just take it out and leave it home.
