4 tires not 5, temporary spare, PO'ed

I'd buy an extra wheel to match the other 4 and have the spare tire remounted on it so you can rotate 5 ways - problem solved........but I gotta say, the worst thing Toyota EVER gave us with our trucks are the junk ass jacks they expect us to use with a crap lug wrench -- throw that shit out and replace with a good hydraulic and 4-way lug wrench........easier to use on and off road, swap out a flat in half the time!

 

Maybe it's just me but wouldn't you run into differential problems by rotating in the spare because your always going to have one tire in the rotation that will have a different tread depth then the rest. Idk but I thought I heard somewhere that having different size tread depths is bad on a 4X4 unless you have a matching tread depth on the opposite side of the truck.

 

X1

I never rotate the spare, my 05 Camry has factory alloys including the spare and it has never been part of the rotation.

 

im lost is he trying to use a spair as a tire

 

You can say that again.

It's a good story, but I'm not buying it. My factory steelies used an acorn cone nut. If you pull one of the factory alloy nuts - I bet you find the same.

 

The tread depth wouldn't be significant enough to cause a problem, the concern is having a different sized spare since most people change the stock tires with a different size and don't change out the spare.
My tires are 265/70/17 and my spare is 245/75/16.

 

Really- You gotta be kidding me. Its the same size tire who gives a F*ck abourt what wheel they use. The spare is not supposed to be thrown into the rotation of tires anyway. Bottom Line-you're mental
