    I carry a full-size spare. 255/75/17. I mount it on the roof basket. I also do a 5 tire rotation.

    With the spare up there, I have to choose my drive thru car wash carefully. It fits in some and not others.

    My spare tire sits in my garage. Im sure it will end up in the back of the Jeep when I head to Rausch Creek though. Just incase!

    I have also been running 265/70- 17's & tried even with out the air in the tire it will not fit in the spare tire area because it is rubbing against a bar on one end & the other end it was rubbing against the hitch, so I am forced to run the spare on top of the jeep in the roofrack
