So here is the situation, Bought a set of pro-comp Xtreme AT Tires, and so far very happy with their performance
My plan was to go this month and change the spare wheel as well...but that got me thinking. The tires are directional...
So what now
Anybody have any ideas...Please

Re: Question...What Spare Wheel?
Shouldnt be a problem. Just fit it on the rim, and when you have to use it take care. especially on wet roads. The only other way you are going to compensate for this is to fit a non-directional tyre of the same size on the spare. You could always carry 2 spares, but what if you have 2 blow-outs on one side?
If you go with a directional spare, you can fit it "wrong way round", but take care while driving with it like that, and only use it to get you to the nearest place that can fix your blown-out tyre.
