I don't remember and others can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think the stabilizers on your model are designed to support the entire weight of the TM. So, I think I would put the spare on one side, then use the stabilizers to support the rest of the TM while you remove the other wheel. If you have a bottle jack (Is there a Harbor Freight around? It is a good idea to always carry one anyhow.) it can be used to provide additional support. Assuming you had 14" wheels, it seems the best you can do is to upgrade to 15", which you are apparently doing. Reports of blow-outs are diminishing (not disappearing) after TM has gone to the larger wheel. Just be sure you have adequate clearance for the larger wheels, as you may need to install a kit to raise your TM.
