how far should I go on spare with oversized tires?

...However I may defer asking this question to Dumke as it appears he has more experience with donuts and spare tires.

Hey just because I resmble that remark. I like Cream filled ones perferably..


Ok all kidding aside I am guessing that is where your going with the dumke comment ... LOL.. (Dont want and infraction)

OK sorry back to subject I have never used full size spare. Even tho my truck isnt up to par atm as some things I need to fix. I have a full size tire in back and as for storage I use where my full size spare was. Behind the back seats really has no room for anything I need to carry that cant go in front or back seat.

Yes the full size spare needs to go in front "per manual". Something to do with the TOD... there is a post on it.


I do know a vehicross can carry 4 "regular size" tires without a back seat. (forget who it was but was from Nebraska.) With back seata dn two kids you can fit 4 bigger tires as I did it from a meet but it takes alot of articulating lol..

Yup, 4 OEM will fit in the back of a VX with the seat folded & flipped.

Nope, full size spare can go on any corner. Donut must go on front tho.

Nope, full size spare can go on any corner.

Not neccesarily. If your other 3 tires are worn and your spare is new it might cause the TOD to act up. Might want to include your spare in tire rotations to help prevent that...or just mount your spare regardless of full size or donut up front.

Ah Ha, I knew Dumke couln't resist a thread about donuts. Safety spares that is. So your saying if i took the back seat out I could carry 4 full size spares. Hummmmmmm that is a thought.

Or go the TaylorRichie route:

I've already taken it out with Brit, Me, 2 Dogs, the Fridge/Freezer, big springbar tent setup, Camp Chef stove, Propane, Big Water Tank, Camp Chairs, all of our unrefridgerated food, and clothes. Only thing missing is the kitchen sink... to be added soon.
