Running 235x75R15s ... but my spare is 205x70R15. Is it worth even carrying it around? Would using it do much good? Or just cause damage.
Thanks

i put sunnies on my wagon so if the MRS gets a flat she can drive home on it and a new rim is only $55 |

Speaking of which, what's it like to drive on rims without rubber? 
I know what it's like on bikes, but not cars. I guess that could be a last resort if you were stuck in the middle of no where with very badly damaged tyres. |

Or you could do it like The Bush Mechanics and fill the flat tyre with spinifex then continue on your way |

i was just thinking about this few days ago.. would it be better to put the smaller spare on the front than the rear so you arent making the side gears in the diff from working more? if you had to drive a fair distance. |

I think there would be a bit more damage on the inside that you cant see

i have a 205 spare. Luckily i havent needed it yet. Its only for the purpose of getting me somewhere to fix the 33"... I will have to put it on the front because of the rear locker.. Might be a pain in the arse if i have a rear flat.

i used to think having a different spare was fine, until getting a flat in a track and then not having the traction or size i needed on the back right which slid me into a hole and onto my side... |

I call it my space saver like HOLDEN, and many other makers get away with it. You need every little bit of space in a swb! Maybe i should ditch my 205. And buy some green goo. Like SMART. |

full size spare is way i reckon..but if it's something like a 31" or so it is harder to mount as you'll need something custom to hold it as the stock door will just fall off if you use that. |

that is where my question comes in what would be the biggest size tyre you would bolt onto your back door on the stock carrier |
