OK, at the risk of sounding like a total newb, I have to ask:
How many of you guys add your spare into your tire rotation.
Way back when I bought my first set of MTR’s, the dealer cautioned me
about not adding the spare into the rotation, as the small difference in
tire diameter between the spare and the other tires could have a detrimental
effect on the drivetrain of the H3. Something about it being full time 4X4.
Seems like I heard that elsewhere as well and just never really questioned it.
Soooooo……fast forward to yesterday.
Just Swapped out a set of well used 12.50X33 Swampers for a set of Good Year MTR’s W/K in 12.50X35.
(Yes, Steve #1……That is the ripple in the force that you felt about 10:00 a.m.) --- 8^)
The four ground tires had lost whatever road manners they ever possessed and were fairly well worn….40K by best guess.
However, the spare had never been on the ground. Seems like such a waste.
Just curious what the general consensus is amongst you guys.
