Pics of spare tire kit

Why get it?
I don't see any reason to get the spare tire kit. If I want a spare tire I'll just buy a wheel and tire and lay it in the back. The kit doesn't seem to save space or fit the wheel somewhere it couldn't get without the kit. Is there something I'm missing?

I think I read somewhere that the weight ratio does NOT include the spare.
The kit allows the tire to be mounted up off the trunk floor against the top of the trunk. I doubt you could do this without the kit.
Anyway, I'd rather have the spare tire and kit than not have it, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's worth the cost.

Clarifications on my previous post:
I should say that I doubt you could EASILY do this without the kit.
I meant that it's not worth the cost THAT I PAID (about $450 with the tire)
