you can always have the rear spare tire "balanced" with lead weights...lots
of lead weights...I've seen spare tires with weights "all" over them -both
sides - literally everywhere. At least 25# worth. There was even one that
had some "fluid" in the tire, must've been filled with *very* humid air :-)
...you will need to reinforce the spare tire mount though .... :-)
