Potential Spare tire problems...?
 

I am planning on getting 31s or 32 inch tires...and i want to keep my spare tire under the bed as it should be...will i be able to?

Re: Potential Spare tire problems...?
 

I don't think you will be able to.

I don't know about newer trucks but my '96, I could not even fit a 30/9.50 under it.

Re: Potential Spare tire problems...?
 

Since you didn't specify I'm going to assume your question is pertaining to having a 32" spare...

Answers vary. Some will say they have done it, some will say they have tried and failed. If I were you, I would take a 32" tire, or ask the shop you're buying from to borrow one, and try and see how it fits.

I have a 33" tire under my bed. It doesnt fit perfectly in the frame rails but it still fits under the truck.

I've got a brand new 31" full size spare under mine. Fits perfect.



GB :)

32" won't fit if you have a hitch... at least mine doesn't anyways.

Re: Potential Spare tire problems...?
 

he has a hitch. my advice is to keep the best one of the tires you already have, put it on a rim and keep it as a spare.

Re: Potential Spare tire problems...?
 

yeah if it was me i would get like the largest tire that i could squeeze in there, it will be big enough to run you home, then you can get your normal tire fixed and throw it back under.

my 32" did not fit because of my hitch

Re: Potential Spare tire problems...?
 

yeah thats my problem, my round tube hitch already touches the tire and ben...good idea i hope it doesnt cause too many pull problems when driving on the freeway!

Re: Potential Spare tire problems...?
 

ha i would say well how often do you really use your spare... but with your luck lol idk.

baaaahahahahaha you need to get a plug kit then you can fix them yourself. its really easy to do and a plug kit that will cost like 5-10 bucks will plug like 10 holes.

i wonder if deeper treads make a difference? assuming they have thicker walls on the tread and side??/

Re: Potential Spare tire problems...?
 

this is very true, and being aware of where you are, warehouses and things like that have a lot of nails, and being close to camp sites and things like that, ummmmm but yeah tires can help.
