Running 19.5" wheels; what about the spare?
I've got a set of Rickson 19.5" wheels recently and currently shopping for tires. In the meantime, I've been reading up about the 19.5" option and it would seem Rickson's website does not find having...

When talking a 6 wheeled vehicles the 7th is a moot point, but it was going to be a PITA to get down and up as a spare, would it fit with my classV and the diameter is the same as the new tires..so why?!?!? The cost per mile argument is right on. With 19.5's I think tread ware is not going to be the factor for replacement, it will most likely will be age and side wall condition. Plus if you have 19.5's you most likley will trade in the vehicle before the tires need replacing. Remember these are commercial grade tires on a light truck. Even if they are loaded like my rig.( I would venture to say that somewhere the sats show trade-in period averages. In my case I am outiside the bubble and always will be...both my vehicles are 11 years old and going strong, of course I take care of them.)
So back to the subject...DON'T WASTE THE COIN!! Tire $250 to 325 Wheel 150 to 250 plus...what could you do to your TC for $400 to $500!!!
remember that thought if you cut a sidewall on sharp granite on a backcountry FS road out of cell service with no spare and you have to start walking. I tend to frequent those areas to go fishing.
