Have you looked into buying a used tire? I ran over a piece of something sharp going down the road and came back after fishing to find my trailer with a flat tire. I changed out with the spare and dropped it off at the tire shop on my way home.
Got a call saying it was a sidewall puncture and could not be repaired!
The tire guy then said he had a few used tires of that size and it would be $20 for a tire with at least 7/32 tread on it!
Told him Ok, as this would now be the spare!
