Spare Tire Won't Fit

Postby Willysnut1959 » Fri Apr 02, 2021 10:08 am

FWIW, I got a deal on a 255-70-15 tire to use as a spare. Found out yesterday that the larger tire will not slide down into spare tire carrier.
Bummer.

Will those tires fit under the wheel wells and clear all the steering linkage?

I didn't try it since I had only one of the larger size tires. The other 4 tires are 235-75-15. The spare tire costs me only $30 whereas the others were $100 each.

Hmm, if that doesn't work out, then you may still give 4WheelOnline a visit. Their huge selections of high-quality tires are bound to catch your attention.
