Where to buy spare tire and wheel

You probably have it down to a science, like a one man pit crew.
Otherwise, you'd be on a first name basis with the AAA tech.

I've been pretty lucky, the last time I actually had to pull over and change a tire was 40 years ago. Most of my tire issues have been just slow leak punctures that didn't need immediate attention.

First time, something skittered across the freeway and caught the passenger side front time - took out the sidewall. Instant flat. I was in the carpool lane with 70 MPH traffic so no place I could go except the center divider lane (only about 4 feet wide). Called AAA, but CHP and Freeway Service Patrol got there first and FSP changed it.
Second time, I got a screw in the passenger side rear that leaked about 2 PSI per minute so was able to safely get off the freeway and found a place on a side street. Called AAA and they changed it. Hole was plugged and holding fine so far...
Third time I was on a gravel road in the desert so I had no choice but to change it - the same time that had been replaced the first time. No idea what I hit (at maybe 15 MPH), but the shop showed me the damage on the inside and it was impressive. They patched it, but said it should be considered am emergency use only. It looses about 1 - 2 PSI per day so I have to air it up about once a week. I'm driving on the spare, but planning on replacing all four tires as soon as some money shows up to go to off road times.

Hopefully, that's the last of them for a while...
