2005 Dually Spare Tire

[CAHancock]

Question, the spare tire you pay for, does that fit the front and the back? I am looking at ordering one in the future and have no back ground.

First off, Welcome to the TDR!



yes, they are the same backspacing all the way around. The front hubs stick out further on the dually's to make up for the wheel difference.

One Caveat

There is one caveat. If your tires are directional as the M/S ones that came on my truck are, obviously the spare will be the same as 3 of the others, and reversed tread relative to the others. . If you include it in your tire rotation, you will want to be aware of that. .

Gerry, the Wrangler GS/As were dropped about 6 months ago, so directional tires are no longer an issue. OEM is now General AmeriTrac (all season) and AmeriTrac TR (on/off road)

Dumped the directional

Good move in my opinion...

The wrangler GS/A's are not a directional tire but a asymetrical tire, meaning the tread is not the same across the face of the tire. It does mean though that it has an inside and outside facing sidewall.
