Can I use a different size spare wheel?
Yes, you can use your old tire as a spare, as the general rule is that a spare within 2″ of the bad tire on the ground will work, but a used tire the same size as your tires on the ground won’t cost much. I am now running 35×12. 50/15 MTs on my CJ with a 33×9. 50/15 AT as a spare.

Does tire speed rating matter?
The speed rating tells you the speed the tire can safely maintain over time. A higher speed rating usually means you will have better control and handling at higher speeds – and that the tire can take the extra heat. As a general rule, tires with higher speed ratings also handle better at slower speeds.

Can I drive with a smaller spare tire?
You can drive with a smaller spare tire but not more than 50 miles. Smaller spare tires are not meant to travel for a distance more than 50 miles and speed exceeding 50 mph as they have a much smaller size and little to no tread compared to normal tires for better traction handling and ABS control.
How long can a car sit on a spare tire?
