Hey Ted, thanks for reaching out!

I saw you picked up the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Silver Mod Wheel # KE34WV - this is a solid choice for a spare tire and will work great in a pinch.

Something to keep in mind about spare tires is that you want them to match as closely to your standard tires as possible for best wear and performance. This means I'd just use this as a spare just to get to a shop or garage since it isn't the exact same size as what you currently have.
