You're very welcome. Hopefully, as you say, you never have to use your spare again, but in the event that you do, remember that from the time that tire failed until the time you got the rig stopped and the weight off of the other tire on that side, the "remaining good tire" was critically overloaded. It may only take a few hundred feet or it may take a few hundred miles, BUT THAT TIRE WILL FAIL from being overloaded and having to carry the weight normally carried by both tires. So, rest assured, you WILL be riding on a ticking time bomb with that "tire that didn't go flat on the same side."

So, if you ever do have to use your spare, when you're buying a new tire to replace the failed one, BUY TWO and replace both tires on that side.... Depending on the date your tires were manufactured, you might consider that single failure as a "signal" or a "warning" to just bite the bullet and buy 5 tires.

Oh, as a final thought, don't get rid of that "ugly wheel"... When you get around to making that "trek to Alaska" which most of us do sometime in our trailering life, you'll probably want to carry a second spare. By that time, the "ugly part" won't matter as much as it does now......
