For a temporary spare, the important thing is the diameter. Measure your existing tires, and shop local truck tire shops to find a used tire that is close to the same diameter and not any wider. That will serve as your unmounted spare. Coachnet and other road service companies will be happy to mount this tire in an emergency.
Unless your motorhome has a place to mount it, I would not consider a mounted spare, too heavy.
Yes you are correct, but I have seen Sailun S637's referred to in smaller size being used on 5vers.
I did get a used wheel for this but don't really want to go down the used tire road. All that said I'd like to save a buck with a new tire for a spare that might never be used. I have not seen any info yet on overall difference in outside diameter (or revolutions per mile) looking at different makes so i am hoping they are all pretty close.
