What do people do with their spare tires if theyve uprgarded to larger tires. I just got 35s and I got an extra one that im planning on mounting on one of the stock rims i got off my truck, do people typically keep them in the bed? or is there any way to fit it under the truck where the stock spare is? Thanks

I am running 35s on my truck, that I bought used as a set of 4. I just keep the stock spare under there, in case of emergency. Running two different tire sizes like that can tear up the differential, but I like to have it as an option. I doubt that the 35 will fit up in the stock place - someone else might have other experience. If not, maybe just keep that tire at home to switch out for the flat (which is hopefully not gonna happen). I have a small compressor in one of my tool boxes, so at the very worst I could inflate it (if possible) to get to a shop. If youre not too worried about losing space in the bed, maybe thats a good option - figure out a way to lock it down. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

haha well my uncle doesnt have a tow truck so I'm trying to figure this out

and to redefinition yeah i agree im almost positive it wont fit, im thinking if i could shove it under my tool box that might work nice but i doubt it will fit, the bottom of my box maybe clears the bed by a foot or so so itll be a tight squeeze.

if anyone else has gone through this some more help would be good. thanks

You can spend some money and get a tire carier. Some take up the a good deal of the bed others are less bulky. About your only option short of no spare or just letting it loose in the bed.

remove the spare and put a train horn in its place

I know cause I have it up there, a half worn 33" will fit in the stock space, so I am guessing a new 33 would fit as well maybe even bigger.
