Spare tire? Who needs that?!
















JK....I'm in the "Nay" camp. Wouldn't matter, though, because I'm pretty sure with my spare tire carrier it wouldn't look right anyway. Besides.....do they make them big enough for 37's?

I never ran one on anything I had before my JKU that had external spares (rear swing always and roof mounts). I was going to put one on this just to hide the tiny thing but ain't spending money on one when I plan to size up anyway.

Depends... Do you have oversize tires and/or aftermarket rims? If so, I say nay. Show it off. If you have stock spare, I'd cover it to protect it from the elements. I bought a vinyl one on eBay for less than $20 that has "Jeep" logo.

Since you asked, nay. I was going to get a spare tire cover, but I wanted to do a five tire rotation and it didn't make much sence to cover a tire/wheel combo that had been on the road.

I meant to add that it your Jeep so do what you like and don't worry about what other think. My opinion and $5 will get you coffee at Star Bucks
