Will It Fit-An Unusual Tire Question

[Drewhenry]

I have the desire to keep a spare the same size as what I am rolling around on. I have a new set of tires coming. Toyo OC AT 285/75 R17. I would like to know if anyone has already tried to stow one of these where the factory spare hides? I do know there is not enough room for a 315/70 R17.



Anybody have experience with this?



Thanks

I will fit, so will a 315, I've done it many times

the diameter of the rim is different, but I have a 245/70R-19. 5". . it is equivalent to a 285/75-16" The problem is not the thickness, the problem is the diameter. . your tires will fit.

Yup, it will fit.

Seafish,



Are your Toyos 128S or 121S? I managed to find 5 of the 128 flavor and have been told they are no longer in production.

 

[seafish]

IIRC, they are LRE/128 rated at 3970.

I'm not getting very good wear out of those tires, no where close to the orig. Michelins but I tow a lot.
I understand the new model is better.

I'm not getting very good wear out of those tires.

My opinion also.
