3. Does anyone carry a spare tire in the Outlaw? Where? Under the carriage mounts? Guess I could put it in the back of the toad.
4. If one does not carry a spare (as I see in many other posts here), what happens once road assistance shows up? Tow me to the nearest town with a tire center? Could be quite a distance out West. Also, what if the tire center does not have the same brand/size tire - see question #2 above.

Our Outlaw is a class C.
These are my own opinions and what I have done.
#1, I personally like Michelin. But want to go higher load rated tire next go around, currently load range E on 16" rims.
#2, I have the same tire on all 6 locations. I also rotate my tires for better tread wear & tire life. Keeping the same three to its side of the rig, front to outside rear, outside rear to inside rear, inside rear to front. I do this on both sides every 10K miles, some would say do it every 5K miles. I labor it myself.
#3, I built a tire carrier for a spare and carry one behind the rear axle under the garage. Recently glad it was there, it is a new tire, although same load rated, not same brand as the regular 6.
#4, This n/a, as I do carry a spare.
