Been looking and stopped at one NTB, Hummer dealer, custom wheel shop, and Discount Tire.

No one has any used ones laying around. Hummer dealer has warrantied ones only and NTB doesn't sell used tires.

I'd much prefer a used one that is structurally sound just for cost justifications since it won't ever be used.

If I got a blow out think I'd be ok running the 265 stock spare up front? I'm kinda worried and don't want to have to pay for a tow.

We have used tire stores all over the place around here.

Everywhere I went had 'em, hard part was finding one that would split a pair and sell me only one.

I'm getting ready to replace mine. The 2 front should be ok for a spare. Plan to use one myself. The other is yours for the taking if you can figure out how to get it from Wyo. to Texas.
