Bought my 2013 Ram 1500 several days ago and failed to check that it had the correct spare tire installed before buying. When I do finally check, I find it is a P245/75R16 not the stock P265/ 70R17. So I talk to the dealer (Just local dudes, not a Mopar dealer) and they tell me, hey no problem , it is the same outer diameter it will work. So I check online and find there is about an inch difference. Not a huge deal but not real close either. Lie number one. Today I took off one wheel and tried to put the spare on...no go, it won't clear the disc brake caliper. (and I could not even say that, oh well they probably tired it on the rear, because as you all know, these trucks are 4 wheel discs.) Lie number 2. And some people think I just do not trust people enough...
It was good to learn how to lower the spare with the stock tools. you have to use the BIG end of the extensions on the winch, I learned. :doh:
