The next step....spare wheelset

I just ordered a spare wheelset. I'm tired of switching back and forth between Nokians (days like yesterday and today) and the gatorskins (dry days) so I bit the bullet and bought spare wheels. The ones I'm using are 36 hole mavic a719 3cross laced to 105 hubs. The spare set I got the black rims/hubs/spokes of the same rim, but with deore front hub (in case I ever switch to disc brake up front). So here's the big question...

Should the black wheelset get the good weather tires or the bad weather tires?

I plan to run an 11/32 on with the nokians and a 12/25 with the gatorskins. Now I just have to wait for them to arrive!

It was quite a trick convincing my wife that the mavic ma3 on 105 hubs wouldn't work as a spare on the commuter because I'm using them as the training wheelset on my roadbike while using the rollers over winter.

"so you need a spare wheelset, even though you already have a spare wheelset?"
