While driving home from FL on Easter Sunday on I-65 in KY got a flat. Put on the donut spare and slowed down to about 60 - got 150 miles before that blew - 1/2 mile from wayside in Southern IN. Nothing open so called AAA and got flat-bedded to nearest interchange with hotel and tire store across the street. I got up Monday am early when they opened at 7am and asked for 235/45R 17's and they said "we ain't got none of those - but can order one." I then walked over to a GoodYear dealer - mainly farm tires - and they had one in the back for $250. I looked on the rack and found a used 205 50 17 and they said they could install for $40 all-in. I went with that, thew away the donut and when I got home, threw in my snow tire which I have all the time now. Good luck on your trip!
