Rear mounted spare
Rear mounted spare Currently I have my spare mounted in place of a blown rear tire. Someone had brought up the possiblity of this causing excessive wear on the differential. Should I be worried about this? The replacement tire is coming tomorrow.
It has something to do w/ the car having a posi. Better way to do it, is grab a front wheel and mount it out back, then put the spare up front. The posi could have an extra hard time putting power to different size wheels.
I was taught that a good rule of thumb is you should never put a spare on your driving wheels. If you have to due to wheel stagger or whatever other reasons, then drive it somewhere that you can park it until the tire gets replaced.
