I purchased a frankenlift and am needing bigger tires. I am going to go with General Grabber AT 2's in 245/75/16. I really don't know if I need to buy a brand new spare. Will any "good" as in decent tread amount of tire work as a spare in the same size, 245/75/16? Thanks |

You can but it looks cheasy having a different spare then what is on the ground. |

I don't think its worth spending extra money on a tire that will barely see the pavement (or dirt), especially for it to just be stolen. |

Any tire the same size will work (even though a different tire make/model may be slightly different in size), because you only want to be running your spare until you can get the orig replaced. But I'm with TJKJ, I always use the same tire for my spare as what is running on the ground. I suppose you could rotate your tires often and throw the 5th into the rotation so that you don't have a brand new expensive tire just sitting there baking in the sun and never getting used. But if you keep purchasing the same tire make/model over the years then you only have to buy the spare once, when it's time to replace your tires you just keep the same spare. |

or do like I did when I moved up to 245/70R16 get 4 now. then at your next tire rotation get the 5th and have them do a 5 tire rotation on your set from then on. this way one tire is always off the road, they will all 5 wear out the same and last 20% longer. I also have a 235/70 that has seen very little wear I would like to get rid of to someone local to use as a spare. If intrested maake me an offer. |
