I finally got a matching spare, and I mounted it on a black rock crawler instead of the gray stock steel wheel. ![[Linked Image]](http://pics.montypics.com/phohmann/2004-02-20/1077299045_rear.jpg) Pete

Do they make Revo's in the stock Amigo tire size?

I love my Revo's. I know they make a P-rated Revo in the stock size (245/70R16), but I'm not sure about the LT version. I went with Revo's AT's instead of a mud tire because I do a lot of driving in the snow in the mountains. The Revos are great in snow, and they do as well as an AT can be expected to do in mud. It's just a great all around tire with a very aggressive AT tread. It also seems hold very well on wet roads. At Uwharrie I held my own with the rigs with more lift and MT's. They are as quiet as the stock tires.

Need a Spot

This is a little OT, but since this thread has to do with matching spares, I was just wondering how many people have non-matching spares out there. Due to a shortage of funds when I put Geolanders on my truck, I only bought 4. I also went from the stock 245's to 265's, so my spare is a 245. I actually went by Big O' Tires the other day to fix a flat on my wife's car and was offered the opportunity to buy a used Goodyear 265 AT (not sure of the exact model) for $30 installed (I haven't purchased it yet). Had some pretty decent tread left on it and I'm thinking instead of paying another $90+ for a new tire that may never get used or get used for only a short period of time, is it worth it to just buy used? Any safey issues? Am I being just plain silly (with a 6 year old son, I frequently substitute the word silly for the word stupid, by the way)?
Thoughts?
