Dave,
I have an interesting calibration point for you. (One that I have used.)
If you can managed a wheel and tire, then get the set. If not, then maybe just a tire. Our current wheels are about 85#. I can manage them , if I have to. If they were any heavier, why bother. I also carry the tools to change one out if it the need arises. That was twice in 14 years and one of those was a cracked wheel.
But, then there is the other ever present issue. Tires have a life of 8 years, 10 at the outside. So, if you are going to carry this as a spare, how long can you carry it?
