I try to keep an eye on the 306 spare as it is a pain to wind down and up,other cars with internal spares I don't worry about so much as they are easier to check more often.
The garage where I did the tyres was only 50p last time !which I thought was bad enuff - might get a tyre inflator LOL

for about 30 quid, an auto-stop one with a preset/guage would be handy. small enough to leave in the boot. (I do)
