I don't have a matching spare on my 2-door JK. It's the same size, but doesn't match. The issue is that my main tires are north of $300.00 a pop, and I just can't make myself buy another one for a spare. I don't include my spare into rotation, and every matching spare tire I've ever bought winds up being given away a couple of years later.
So, I'm thinking about buying a cheap retread to mount on the spare. Should be half the cost. I'm also thinking about getting the lightest (thinnest) tire that I can find with a matching diameter.
I'm running 12 plys on the JK, so a flat isn't likely. I also have air onboard, so limping home is a possibility (with multiple fill stops). But, in the event of a catastrophic tire failure I'd like to have a real spare to limp home on.
Good idea or bad one?
