$56 for tire and rim?
You need a rim that matches.
A tire (the rubber part) that matches the size and load rating (same size tire may have different load ratings).
After that, you can buy on price and no don't get paranoid about it.
I suspect once you do that, you will find, the $174 isn't too far from what you are finding from other sources.
Someone had a kind of glancing approach to the real question: Why do you feel the need for a second spare?
- You are driving to Alaska and will be in remote areas...I can see the argument. Tires in remote areas can be expensive or require you to wait a few days to ship them in.
- You are traveling I-95 from New England to Florida...one spare should be plenty as you can always pick up another spare if you use the first.
