Default Will Spare Tire Mess Up Posi????

Hey guys, I need to get a new tire today.....the shop is literally about 1/2 a mile off base. Will my car be alright for the short trip....or should I avoid it?
Thanks!

Just swap one of the front tires for the spare on the back. It'll only take 10min so why risk it?

yeah i would definitely swap one of the front ones to te rear, this year when i was on my way up to school i blew a tire on the right rear and was forced to put a new one on the right rear and the left rear tire was half worn when i was on the freeway i could feel the car trying to pull to the left because of that little bit of difference in circumferance i cant imagine it was very good for my posi but there was nothing i could really do about it until i made it to school

Well, same here........I really had no choice, only had the little piece of junk jack. Limited time, I literally only drove it at 25mph for 5 min though. I should be ok, got a new tire on the stock rim.
damn, I cant wait to get my new wheels and tires!
Thanks guys!
