I was wondering if anyone figured-out an affordable alternative to use as a spare tire on the low-profile trailer, specifically a 2008 40th Anniv 197 dual axle trailer with the KMC Badlands.
I know MC had a special offset on the wheels and that they are no longer making them and I did check with MC to see if they had any remaining, which they do, however the price tag is roughly $800 (before tax and shipping). That is a bit steep for something that will just hang on my trailer 99% of the time, granted that 1% when you actually need it, well.....
So, has anyone come-up with a tire and wheel combo that will work in case of emergency. I am trailering more these days and so my odds increase of having an issue. I plan to put the tire on the trailer spare mount and cover it, so it does not have match.
Thanks in advance.
