    HI

    I'm suspecting the reason why people have problem with spare tire is that they have upgraded to bigger tires (other than they didn't follow instruction to rotate the spare to front). The circumference difference between stock and smaller spare tire is about 3%. Now if bigger tires are used the difference is going to be bigger and therefore causes problem to TOD.

    So if you upgrade to bigger tires your spare is useless, unless you also upgrade to a bigger spare tire. Maybe we can do a group buy for bigger spare tire.

    Or maybe try to deflate all other tires to 10 PSI when spare tire is used.
