Spare Tire question

Skookill · 10-07-2009, 03:34 PM

I just bought a new set of 245/65R17 Bridgestone Dueler AT Revos for my 03 LTD. If needed can I use my 235/65R17 Goodyear Wrangler SRA Spare without freaking out the Quadradrive? Thanks.

nope you will destroy the clutches in the axle that it is mounted on as well as the clutches in the TC

just buy the right size for your spare, and rotate it in, youll get alot more miles out of the tires = well worth it

that is why all of the quadra trac and drives had a matching spare, where the selec trac had a steel spare.

I have a steel rim spare so Ill have to buy a matching rim too. That sucks.

I don't think it really matters what kind of wheel you have as long as the tire is the same size, and fits the wheel.

dlundblad · 10-07-2009, 05:18 PM

not if its the same size...

Skookill · 10-07-2009, 05:36 PM

I meant buy a matching rim so I could rotate the spare with the other 4, which would be nice.

The 03's Limiteds didn't get matching spares? I guess decontenting sucks. I wish I had been including my spare in my tire rotation. That wheel still looks brand new, and the other four look like a$$. It's going to look kind of strange when I do begin working it into my rotation.
