Me! Beats waiting for hours for a breakdown truck and it's only a 10 minute job. If it's not too flat, limp it to a lay by or petrol station to be safer.

I agree.

Also there must be more than a few mm tolerance on diameter say 2% or so as the electronics must account for a new vs worn tyre that is going to be the case on a car.

Put the spare on with say 2mm tread vs in the extreme case a new tyre on other axel with 7mm of tread.
