Good points jefe. I was not thinking about availability. I used to carry 2 spares but will probably only have one for this truck until the first time we are in the middle of nowhere and I have a flat. Actually, I am sure I will add a receiver hitch up front to haul another spare. The Firestone tires the truck came with are just an unknown for me and therefore I do not trust them and we get off the beaten path quite often, little less now that we have gone to a hardside TC vs. our popup we had for years. The Cooper St Maxx sure look good! I appreciate all the replies.
