I have a wheel at house waiting for a tire

I have two 9-5's- a wagon and a sedan. Over the last 3 years I have had four flats between the two. The last one was the final straw, and I ordered a wheel from a repair place in Penn. It's a ten spoke match for my wagon. I am planning on matching the tire and rotating the spare, so that's why I got a matching wheel. It's also lighter than a steel one, so it will be a little easier to get in and out. I originally bought some wheels from the classified, but they were both bent, so they were traded in on the new wheel for partial credit. My problem now is tires, I don't want to spend money getting another Michelin, but it isn't time to replace the wagon tires yet. I agree the security of a full sized spare is worth it for a travel car. I've spent too much time on the donut watching traffic whiz by. If you think it's a pain in the US, try doing it in Spain where the traffic is going 100+ MPH.
