I definitely agree. I kept asking the original owner this and he had no idea... he wasn't super into vehicles anyway, he just thought this one looked cool and unique(which, YEAH). Anyways, the tire company(who punctured one of the tires and started this whole mess) said that the spare should never be on the front... I was thinking the opposite because of the TOD system and I asked them about it. I guess I should know better than to ask a dummy a question.
