Knowing you have only one spare, shouldn´t it make you drive more careful? Loosing time also, maybe?
There´s also a car and a driver and also what happens in their interaction, eg. skillness is more important than a car going 0,1 sec slower with two spare.

So, no I don´t follow. And smooth roads and still a whole chunk of punctures?
But with two spares you need to push harder to not loose too much time to those who has one so...
It didn't work for the Citroëns with two spares, losing loads of time with 16 and 33sec behind in Nambucca in the first loop then Meek hits a bridge pushing too hard.

Hasn't been many punctures here, Breen had one off the rim?
