Is it even worth it for me to keep my 28" spare on the back of my truck? I have 33's now, one part of me says take it the hell off because it wouldnt help incase of emergency anyways, but should i keep it or toss it to make room for my train horns?

opinions!

 

Well, about the only thing its good for is weight in the back.. but if your going to put train horns in, that will solve the weight issue lol.. I say sell it.. lol.. but no, no point in keeping it.. I still have to take my full size spare out..

 

It would help to get you to a service station but it will make the truck lean. I say keep it.

 

keep it...guess what will happen the day after you take it off....

 

yeah, true that lucas.. **** always happens like that lol

 

unless youre going to buy a 33" spare tire... definitely keep it! I am pretty sure it would suck to have a blow out and not have a spare while youre out on the trail, or somewhere AAA cant get too lol

 

I was wondering about using the 235 spare with 33's and my friend pointed out it could be bad news on the rear if you run a locker. Since once axle would spin faster than the other even while going straight. I'm not sure what the effect would be, maybe someone here knows.

 

I would keep it. If you have an open differential you can still use it without damaging anything. I don't know if I would use it with a locker or limited slip. I am thinking the same when I get bigger tires and I have AAA but they might not be able to help me in some situations.

 

keep it, its out of the way

 

keep it till you can get a full size spare. i ran my whimpy spare while i had the 33s, but i knew it could only go on the front.

 

Keep it. Never know when $hit happens

 

get rid of it and find a cheap used 33" tire. thats what i did. and i ended up rolling my old spare down a huge mountain.

 

But I agree with Ty, just go on craingslist and pick up a cheap spare for like 20-30 bucks. Hell even go to a tire store and ask if they will part with a ****ty tire for a case of beer or something. Anything will be better than a 28.

 

Its like an insurance policy...absolutely worthless when you don't need it but sure is nice to have when you do.

 

No big deal,
if you had a rear go out, take a good tire off the front, and put your spare on the front.

 

yeah i'm gonna keep it until i get a full size spare, then would i just keep the spare in the bed?

 

thanks for being one of those douche bag red neck ***** that give the rest of us a bad name

i never said it was a big deal. it would just take a little longer

thats where mine chills

 

did you see a native american shead a single tear with no emotion on his face????

 

x2 i still have my stock 235 and i run 33s, i keep it just in case but if i blow a rear, i'll just put the spare on the front and use a good one for the back. i have an open diff so i dont think it'd ruin anything but i'd still rather keep both tires the same size.

 

it'll still mess with the diff, its not good for different sides to be spinning different speeds for a long amount of time.

 

you never know where you are gonna get a flat, what if there was practically nobody out in the middle of no where, with no local gas station or such, and no cell phone reception. then what would you do? i say keep it, it might be small, but a small tire is better than no tire

 

I say dump it... personally I couldn't have mine in the stock location (3" body lift you can't use the stock location for the spare) so I took it out when I had the bumper off. I have AAA Roadside and my insurance company also has roadside coverage... I'm almost never more than an hour from home so I have the spare in my garage... if for some reason I can't get a tow then I'll get the spare and put it on the truck... the only time I would need it is if I wheel but I don't so not an issue...

 

my spare is rusting behind the shed. its too much of a pain to get it out with a body lift cuz u gotta take off the license plate to do it.

get a full size and throw it in the bed

 

yep away with the spare, gonna get a full size, i never am more than 45 mins away from my house anyways, and I have AAA as well. if i go in the mountains or whatever i'll put it back on =]

 

a small spare is better than no spare
