    I put 265/75/16 AT's on my stock Taco, but did not replace the spare which is a dunflop AT20 245/75/16, is this going to be a problem if I get a flat, common sense says yes but I am mechanically retarded, so how about a little expertise here

    If you intend on useing the spare for any length of time, its a good idea to have the same size. Personally, I only use a spare (Same size or not) until the tire that was flat is repaired, or replaced, then the spare goes back to its spot.

    ^ I second. Just make sure you get the damaged tire fixed in a timely fashion.
