On big rigs, a single wide tire has less rolling resistance than double tires. You shouldn't use spares as an everyday tire, but if you want to give it a shot you could try the spares from some 4wd subarus and minivans. They are narrow, but they are the same circumference as the regular tire they're replacing.
