[QUOTE="Chris Turner, post: 972482, member: 69155"] Hiya! Thanks for the reply, Johnny! Hope you get to end up in the shoes you want! :supercool: I have another stupid idea to bounce off of ya... I'm going to have to replace the spare tire (stock size), lest I damage the transfer case, hubs, my own peace of mind, etc. Is it worth looking around for a 5th stock/OEM 17" wheel to mount the 5th tire on and be my "spare"... a "working spare" so to speak ... so that I can work it into my normal tire rotation? (I rotate abt every 4k mi, when I do oil filter or full oil changes. Just keeps me in the habit.) I would think it'd make the 'lot of 'em drive ~25% further (same cost/mi, or less, w/ inflation), plus i'd know that my spare was worn evenly with the rest of the tires and was recently checked for pressure & wear and road-tested for balance. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
