u said my mind.......

so by reviewing the previous posts, I guess the OEM rear wheel/tire combo (18"*9.5 with 265/40) should be a decent choice for a full size spare to carry around on long trips - all things considered, equal sizes for the differential care in case of a rear wheel flat and a decent choice for most highway driving in case of a front wheel flat although lock to lock turns may need to be with caution if it has to rub on the fender liner. thanks guyss..... this was a great help......
