I've need to get some spare A/T wheels and I'm having an issue with sizing.
Don't really wanna fork out 5k for new Tires, but I found a good second hand set problem is that they slightly bigger than the ones I have now 31x 10.5x r15.
And I'm currently running 30x 9.5x r15, I've heard people saying your sizes should match all round...
I'm doing a 6000km overland to Mozambique, so don't really wanna take chances

Re: Tyre Sizing On Spare Wheel
The problem is that you can't run different size tyres over a diff. The one wheel is then constant running faster than the other one which will damage the diff at high speed. Also using the diff lock is not an option. Better stick to the same size and manufacturer all round
