Stupid Question....

My current spare tire is more bannana peel than tire. I have LT235/85R16s on my 86 F-250 4x4. I have an extra tire, a P255/65R16 in the shed, can I use it as a spare?

 

Yeah,it'll work.But don't use while in 4 wd.I have people ask me all the time to find them a full size rim/tire for a spare (to eliminate the doughnut) and I always ask "when was the last time you used it", 99 % of the time the answer is "never".So if your current spare is holding air,it'll get you off the road.Just my $.02

 

Also do not use this tire in the rear. It is almost 3" different in diameter. Good way to screw up the diff, especially if you have LS.

 

Thanks for your advice, Ill stick with my spare until i can replace it.
