Thanks for the advice. For now. I found two used Goodyears to get me thru the winter and I'll look again at the tire situation next summer. I know these goodyears aren't the greatest tire, but for $35 each, I can't complain. It's the right call right now.
I am very familiar with the MTR. I have been running 35x12.50r15's on my bronco for 5 years. They are too noisy for my wife. She complains about some toyo mt's on my F-350 and the diesel engine masks most of the noise.
Ideally, I'd like to buy a thinner (6") aftermarket wheel for the spare, that I could run at highway speeds, but wouldn't hang down so much while off-roading. For the mild stuff I do, it may not be a problem. But the one time it is... I'm going to have to do some checking on that. Maybe I can get a cheap wheel/tire for the spare.
If not, I may find a used 19" wheel and mount my one good tire on it for the spare. If so, I'll have one good spare with 6/32nds tread for sale.
