You are correct, equal cost static routes are load balanced on Cisco
routers. That's why in a case like that you would want 1 of the statics to
have a higher admin weight assigned to it. So the wireless could be
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.2.10 200
and the fiber could be
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.10
The static with the lower admin cost will be installed in the route table
until the link goes down. Then the other will be installed. Every routing
protocol has an admin weight assigned to it. Static and connected routes
also have them. Take a look in the docs and you'll find all the defaults.
