Need Spare Tire & Rim

Any tire shop that deals with big trucks will probably be your best bet. They usually have a spare used rim and tire that will work well for a spare and not break the bank. I carry a mounted spare and have never needed it but I will keep on carrying it.

I got mine at a truck repair shop. The rim was $50 and the tire was the odd new one that I had got when one of mine blew out and Good Sam brought it.....I bought 6 new ones, used the new rim on one of those and put the odd one in a pass through bay----I don't live in it so storage don't matter.

Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier

Looks pretty neat and out of the way. You might want to put a fancy protective cover on it, as well. Meanwhile, you might want to check out those FL salvage companies that I provided the links for.

Just a thought, what I did was when I had my tires replaced last month I kept the best inner dually for the spare. My RV is a 2008, but the date code on the tires were 2207, they were getting close to eight years old. The tires looked great but one started to get the small weathering cracks and for peace of mind decided it was time to replace all of them. The thinking behind keeping the inner tire was less exposure to UV light and it was inspected and deemed usable. I placed the tire in the pass thru bay and I feel I won't be at someone's mercy on a Sunday roadside service with a mismatch tire. With your coach being a 2009 and possibly your chassis being a 08 you might be getting close to replacing tires. I agree with others on just carrying the unmounted spare as the way to go.

Check with a truck fleet tire shop for a good use rim and tire

I purchased a good used tire and carried it loose in one of the storage bays. IMHO, no need to carry the wheel/rim; just a lot of additional weight.

Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier

I got my spare Accuride wheel from Ron's Rims. Got a perfectly matched steer wheel (which fits any position). Thankfully I haven't needed it yet.

Here is my write-up of my install.

We only carried a spare tire for our Class A. Those big tires are heavy enough without the extra weight of a rim. Any roadside assist will be able to mount your tire on the rim you already have. We wrapped our spare tire in cellowrap and kept it in the storage area under the bed. That way everything was clean and we did not get a rubber smell.

The one time we had a blowout, it was handy to have the spare tire and Good Sam took care of things.
