my opinion here will probably lose me friends quick, but i just think it is a terrible idea to remove your spare unnecessarily. a drag race or autocross, followed by putting it back in for your drive home, then it makes absolute sense. but even at track days, i leave the spare in place as i use track days to improve my ability to drive my real world car exactly as i drive it in the real world.
the whole "remove your spare" thing is at best delusions of grandeur.
