    I just purchased a 2019 limited and was wondering if the spare tire for all tacomas is a full sized matching tire for whats installed when buying new? I am just curious because I want to sell my wheels and get me the 17 TRD Pro wheels and want to make sure when posting my wheels I include the spare to sell it all as a set.

    It’s the same size wheel, but it’s steel. Not an alloy wheel. Full size tire.

    My spare matches the other 4 wheels except it is all-black, missing the polished accents. It's an 18" alloy.

    Since you have what would seem a decent amount more of "match-a-bilaty than those of us with steel spares, do you include that in your tire rotations?
    Having great oem LTX-2 on aluminum wheels and not being able to do a 5 tire rotation was a disappointment to me. Could buy a match, but too cheap.

    No, I don't. It's a matching tire and all, but it's an all-back wheel. It wouldn't match the other factory wheel finishes and would look weird.

    Doing the 5 tire rotation would have been a pain because of the TPMS, think the computer only has room for 4.

    Correct, and to insert the incoming tire you have to have the special tpms tool.

    Yea, sounds about right, but wouldn't it be nice to get those extra miles out of a set of five tires? Ah, the good 'ol days.
