[QUOTE="John G, post: 710237, member: 63360"] This might seem like a dumb question, but I'm not that familiar with spare tires on trucks. After the Firestone recall years ago, the Ford dealer mounted my replacement spare tire with the valve stem up, which is very inconvenient for checking the pressure. I took the tire out for the first time to replace the rear shocks. Is there a good reason for me to reinstall it the way it was (protect the valve stem from road debris, maybe?) or is it okay to mount it with the valve stem down so that I can check the pressure?
