    TRD sway bar, airbag kit, Diamondback HD, LED headlights, Pedal Commander, Bilsteins 6112's up front with shims (2.5 inch lift), 5160s in the rear with CB +2 shackles (1.5 inch lift), Falken Wildpeak AT3W 285/75/18, TRD Pro Grill insert, MattGecko under hood and bed light kit,
    I'm running 285/75/18 Falken Wildpeaks 34.8" tires, and been searching for a used tire as a spare with no luck.

    I was able to find some Michelin 275/70/18 33.2" tires on Facebook for $40.

    Would I be able to run this as a spare tire without any issues in case I needed to use my spare?

    Or should I try and find the exact same size spare tire?

    Keep yours out or call your local tire shop and ask them to keep you in mind.

    I found a used matching spare from a member on here a year ago. It probably only has 5-7500k miles left on it, but it is the correct size, fits the stock rim and eliminates my fear of needing to drive any type of distance home if I got a flat.

    Side note, I am also 285/75/18 and that tire on the stock rim will fit in the factory spare location.
