In the next few days I am picking up my full size spare. 265/70-17 Bridgestone Dueler Revo 2 and a matching MB wheel v-drive.When I had my new tires installed I had them see if it would fit where the stock spare goes and it fits even when its inflated. Now here is my question. When I am wheeling I am thinking about securing my spare in the hatch over the 3rd row of seats so I don’t risk hitting the spare when wheeling. The tires are about 1" closer to the ground since it is a wider tire. Has anyone done this? I am sure a few bungee cords or twine will keep it from bouncing around. (sounds ghetto I know) Or should I just keep the tire under the car? And what do you guys use to put your jack on when out in the dirt? Some sort of metal plate? Wood? Your foot?
