I am running a solid 32 inch tire and I was just wondering if the spare that I currently have would work if I got a flat. I heard that if it was to much of a difference that it would blow the drivetrain or the diff. I don't know which because I cannot think right now.

Your advice would be greatly appreaciated,

The spare should be a 30.5 (265/65R I think). As for blowin' out your drivetrain, I don't see that happening due to a tire size difference. If you blow a front tire though, I'd recommend swapping it with one of your 32's on your rear and put your spare on the back.

Don't quote me on all this. Just my opinion is all. hahaha

Ya sounds like you have a good grasp on it. I can see putting it on the front it would make a lot more sense. Thanks for the insight
