They are a wear item, so I would just find the cheapest price and plan to swap in a new one every few years.

I went one step further with our previous KZ Spree ... removed the spare tire and bracket from the rear bumper which is the worst possible place for it to be located even though that's where KZ put it, stored the bracket, and moved the tire to the front pass through cargo compartment, placing the weight in front of the axle where it belongs. Out of sight, out of mind, completely protected from the elements, no cover needed, yet the wheel was readily available should I have ever needed it and the well formed by the wheel itself served perfectly for storing hoses and power cables. Coachmen suspended the spare tire under the A-frame of our current trailer so I likewise ditched the crank assembly securing it in place and moved the tire to the front pass through. Too easy, and no tire cover needed. K.I.S.S. :B
