Default Spare tire?

I'm considering buying a 350Z and wondering if it comes with a spare? If so, is it full size?

The reason I ask is, I have a habit of removing spares/jacks from all the cars I've owned to lighten them.

It's the small one - not full size.

I'm not payin' $100 to have a tow-truck come and flatbed my car back to my house because I'm tryin' to save a few pounds by removing the spare. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. I actually have to carry a small block of wood in my car as well because my jack won't fit under the car, so I'd have to drive the car up on the block to get enough ground clearance.

Just carry that can of stuff around that's supposed to plug a flat tire. I can't remember what it's called though Any store that sells car stuff should have it. I carry it around in my WRX which has no spare/jack.

Please don't stick that crap in your tires. If you ever work at a tire shop, you will find out why. .

The tire shop will charge you to clean that tire fix stuff out too.
It's good for an emergency, nothing else.
