And then you can guarantee if you only have 1 spare then you'll get a puncture on the wrong side and have to run tyre backwards until you get it fixed.
They do have some drawbacks but the grip they provide are worth it for me. I've always had uni-directional tyres on my Falcons for track days so I'm used to it. My JK isn't a daily driver which also helps.
