Spare tire

What size of Spare tire should I get.

I have a donut.

Should I just use a rear winter tire on a 16" steel?

My thinking is that the rear tires are the ones that need to be matched up to prevent transmission problems. Front tires mismatched should hurt anything for a drive while on a spare. Furthest I would drive would be 200 miles on a spare. Not something I want to do on a donut.
The donut spare has a 50 mile - 50 mph limit and that is stretching it considerably. Read below.

A 300A Spare is a full sized MM wheel, just painted(???). It came stock w/ a Front Left Tire mounted to it. ;)

I'm not sure you could get a full size with a rear tire in the space on the shelf.

What is wrong with the 18" space saver spare?

I am pretty sure that Defyant put his full sized spare up there and he created his own J-hook mod to secure it in place. Only problem was the spare cover was not sized to fit the full size wheel/tire and leaves part of the tire showing unless the cover is widened.

Yep -

And it fits on the shelf, as the pic shows.

You can get a spare tire cover for a GM and it should fit.

And can someone please show me in a shop manual that says donuts have a 50 mile limit. Cause the owners manual sure as in the hell doesn't say it.

I have a full size tire cover I would let go. I have no use for it.

Let me know......

KillJoy

[duhtroll]

Then why was I able to post items in it just a few days ago, and why can I still access it?

Really, if it's "gone" then that shouldn't be.

Did he put a full size spare with front or rear tire up there?
Full siz with front tire will certainly fit. not so sure about the full size with a rear tire. If it does it will be a very tight squeeze

DOH!!!

I just promised it to another member!!!

If I come across another.....it's yours ;)

I have a rear tire in mine, and it is a Very tight squeeze...but it will fit. Just hope your not in a hurry if you get a flat.
