Larger tires
I'm thinking of going from my 275/70/18 tires up to 285/75/18 size. I'm sure that I'll have to have my speedometer reset, but my real concern is if I have to put the original size spare tire on in an emergency...will this mess anything up in the drive train?!
Anyone have experience with this situation?
Thanks, Larry

I wouldn't. The tires are close to the same size. The front differential is open. Not seeing a problem here.

Just my opinion... in an emergency I'd drive in 4wd and take my chances no doubt.
