Spare Tire

What does everyone have for a spare tire if you upgraded your size? Did you buy 5 new tires or did you buy 1 used one the same size and did not care about what kind of tread was on it?

 

left the stock one up under there, if you really need it one stock tire and 3 35's will get you down the road better than a flat lol

 

thats a fact lol

Yup... Itd just be like one of those donut spares on a car

 

Kept my 16in stocker. What he said^

 

Bought a used 16 inch rim (stock was a 15???) and put one of the old tires on it.

 

Full size spare. When you are wheelin in the middle of nowhere and you need 4wd the stock spare ain't gonna do much good.

 

I thought I read somewhere having one small tire and one larger tire on a 4x4 is not good for the gears.

 

If you have open diffs it won't hurt to run an odd size tire, but it will steer funny. I always manage to get flats two at a time, so I carry two full size spares.

does anyone know where I can get the tool to remove the spare tire. I just bought my taco and it didn't.come with it. not including the dealership

 

try ebay.

 

When I bought my 17" BBS wheels I purchased a steel 17" Toyota wheel from Ebay and bought another same size 17" tire. Running different size tires on the same axle isn't good for the gears.

 

If you have your locker on, that's true. If you have an open diff (or locker turned off) then it isn't any different than driving around a corner from the gears perspective.

 

Kept the stocker with 33's.
