Default Tires and Tyre Covers

I've got a couple of questions here, may be dumb, go easy.

First of all, Spare tire covers. I just got a flat yesterday and it was -30C below, so getting the leather tire cover off to get my spare left me with a very ripped and torn cover.

I would rather go with a tougher, and better looking cover.

Something like this perhaps. It says in the ad that it will fit most 31" to 32" tires. I have a Zr2, so I have a 31" spare. Should I take his work for it?

And now back on the subject of the blown tire. It was completely totaled I hear. There was too much cracking and wearing in the lining to fix.

I have a brand new spare, so I was going to buy 3 more tires to match. Problem here is that no where in town has the Goodyear Trail Marks. So I ended up ordering 4 new tires. They are called Multi-Mile Wild Country XTX Sport All-season tires.
Anyone heard of them or have experience with them?

Any and all suggestions are welcome!!

Ya. Sorry. Having to buy new tires when I don't have the cash has got me pretty razzled.

How wide is your tire? I would shoot the guy and email and see if the carrier is wide enough to hold your tire.

Oh ya, true. Didn't even think of that for some reason. Ill be sure to do that. I was more looking for a glossy plastic hard-shell cover, but I think I may be out to lunch on that.
