Currently on the rear of the car I have 275/60/15 tires and on the fronts I have 215/70/15 tires. What would a good all around size be for a spare? I am just planning ahead,because you never know where the flat is going to be. I dont know if it matters but the vehicle has an open 8-3/4 rearend.

Looks like a 235-70X15 would work. See tire height chart clickhere Last edited by GomangoCuda; 11/20/08 11:05 AM. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
