Then pull over and use that roll of toilet paper under the seat ( since that 18 wheeler almost ended up in the truck bed) and get the spare out of the glove box and replace it

Even though I have never had one go out on me. You guys have gotten me so paranoid about it, I carry two spares in the truck. One blue and one black.
