My reasoning is that when one fails, by the time you get the rig stopped in a safe place, the other tire may have been damaged as it is carrying the load of two for a while. That's why I carry two spares.
Along the same topic, I found on the Lippert website where you can buy another spare tire carrier and winch for under $200. If I can find the room either in front of the factory one(watching for axle clearance) or behind it(watching for ground clearance) I may buy one and install it as I don't like carrying it in my truck bed.
I was looking to see if my carrier that came on my HC would support 2 tires. AFter review, I think it would be pushing the capacity of the carrier. i was debating buying another like you but I think I am just going to leave mine in the bed.
