Will a P255/70R/16 tire & rim fit in the stock spare tire carrier on my 2010 Ranger XLT
4x4???
thanks

It should fit fine. Don't quote me on it but I'm pretty sure that's what size my spare is from the factory.

 

the 2010 rangers come with a full size spare. according to the brochure that size tire should be under there already.

 

Do they all? I thought you could still get a compact spare in 2010.

 

I thought the stock tire size was 245 - ** - 16".. It is on my truck. I'd have to look to be sure but I think I have a 255 or 265 under mine..

They switched from 245/75/16 @ some point to 255/70/16. it's basically the same size tire, or they are considered as "plus zero" size tires in comparison. The side wall height is a percentage aspect of the tread width (sidewall height is 60% of the tread width in the latter example), so 65% of 245mm is similar to 60% of 255mm.

And yes, I also have a full size (245/75/16) spare under my truck. It will fit.

Also, might be a good time to mention for people to check the air in their spares. I never had mine down (thank you BF Goodrich A/T's) and the spare had like 6 psi. Wouldn't have done a whole hell of a lot of good.

 

Well, if it can fit a 32....
