Wayne,
Where will you carry and store a spare of this size? I know that as a senior citizen I would never be able to handle a wheel and tire of this size on the side of the road myself, so I always had the RV coverage adder on my AAA card. What jack do you plan to use to enable changing a tire on the road and where would you carry that?
I used to have a spare tire and wheel for my small travel trailer and even had to put it into service once, but that was an automotive sized assembly on a 15 inch rim -- and even then it was no picnic on the edge of the highway.
I watched as the commercial tire service replaced my 6 tires with new 22.5 inch monsters when I renewed the set due to casing age (not tread wear...) and was very glad such services are for hire. If you do decide to carry a spare, please post pictures of how you do it for other members here to benefit from your ingenuity.
Chuck
