285 with 265 spare??

i buying 4 285/75s but my spare is 265, is tht a problem if i get a flat and have to run the 265 with the 3 other 285s?

 

Just get a 285 spare

 

dont have tht money

 

How about a used one. I got one for cheap and you can sell your og 265 since its pretty much brand new .

 

id guess you'll be alright. i would think that the two powered wheels should have the same size tires, so if you get a flat in the back put one of your rears on there and the spare up front. i could be wrong bump this tomorrow im sure someone els will know better then i do.

 

this

 

Unless you do some real off roading you don't need a full size spare. It is only needed if you use your spare and need to use 4 wheel to get out of where you are.

Otherwise just throw your small spare on the front if you get a flat and you are fine, won't fuck up anything

Edit: You have a pre runner...spare tire size doesn't matter worth a shit. all that matters is that you keep the rears the same size. Hell you could have some fun and throw 35's on the rear and 30's in front and it wont make a difference

 

good idea, ill sell my currents and buy a used 285

 

Do you ever come down to sfv?? I know a guy who can prob
Hook you up with a cheap spare .

 

wut is sfv? haha

 

San Fernando valley. Lol

 

i used my stock wheels/tires as a spare to get my home after i blew my wheels out.
didn't have an issue. just don't do it for a prolonged period lol. kind of sketch..
i run 35's btw.

 

ya dezertrangers has alot of spares, not too many on here, just have to keep a eye out

 

it shouldn't be an issue if you swap it back asap. a spare should be used temporary, unless you can afford to have a full size spare.

 

I'm gonna buy a treadwright tire for a full size spare...half the cost of a new one...and its only a spare ya know? It'll serve its purpose and ya can't beat the price.

that's a great idea!

 

Just FYI, a 285 spare probably wont fit in the stock location.
But for a spare a smaller tire is fine. Millions of cars/vans/trucks/etc on the road have small spares. Just don't run it long term. To get you to a shop it'd be fine.

 

I fit a full 285/75/16 on my spare

 

Ahh 2nd gen fits? Doesn't on a 1st.
