I want a rim for my spare
Hey you guys... So, thanks to the kind people of Michelin my quickly failed tire was covered at 95 percent. Doesn't take the entire sting out of the debacle that was our first run in with tires on...

after multiple "we can put your spare on for you" answers from a number of roadside assistance people I'm going to get a rim. 2 reasons. One, no mounting charge - Two, I know I have a compatible tire and don't need to scrub the planet looking for one at whatever hour the issue occurs.
Storage? That's another story. In the Toad for now. Probably on a Roadmaster bracket next year if the Toad is a pain.
I like your thinking. IMO, this is a good idea because generally, you don't get to pick where and when you have your next tire related issue. IT CHOOSES YOU! After having traveled extensively in Baja California for years, I've learned to carry both an extra full size spare on a rim plus an extra unmounted tire. If you generally stay close to the beaten path, this may be overkill.
