Default Spare tire

What size are they? When i get my 35s, i need to know whether or not to get 5 of the same or one different one. I've got the stock 18"s now.

They are whatever size came on your truck from factory...

It's always nice to have a spare the same size, however if you have a open differential it is not necessary...


However, if you have a LS differential and you put two different size tires on- you will burn that differential up pretty quickly.

I carry two cans of fix a flat in my truck right now..... and hope I don't have a blow out.....

Oh and as far as a spare I would suggest finding one the same size used off craigslist or a local tire dealer take-off...

You can read the tire if you crawl under neath and look. Creeper helps in this. I too carry 2 cans of Fix-a-flat since i didnt feel like droppin an extra $400 on a spare 35"
