Well after MUCH internet searching and even talking to a couple of fabricators I concluded that the Roadmaster is the best option. It's pretty spendy but I'm determined to carry a spare and do it safely. At least the spare itself ended up being pretty cheap. I found a refurbished Ford dually wheel for $70 delivered and an orphan tire at a local dealer for $75 installed and balanced. It's a Hankook that proudly proclaims on the sidewall that it was manufactured in Indonesia and designed in Singapore! Hopefully I'll never need it or that it'll at least get me to a Michelin store if I do. I'll post a photo when it's installed.
