Currently running 35" tires (and have 5 of them) and may want to go to 37" when they are ready to be replaced. Do I need a spare carrier? I have 4.88 gears, so weight is not a huge issue. I am trying to save some money by not buying a new carrier, so I can spend it elsewhere. Jeep is 2013, so I am really not wheeling it hard yet. What are the pros and cons? I do not take long trips with it, but I do use my back seat. Help!

 

Do you want to be left stranded on the side of the road with no spare?

There are lots of people that go without them...but it is personal preference. You never know when something might happen.

Me personally, I would suck up the cash and pay for the spare. Would be cheaper than a tow if it ever comes to that.

 

I'm buying 35"s soon I found a really cheap tire that ima use as my spare that matches the tires maybe you can do the same!

 

Roof rack. Chunk the spare on top.

 

Go to discounted wheel warehouse and get you a matching spare with guarranteed financing. Cost you only a few bucks a week. Pay it off in 3 months if you want with 0% financing. Bad credit don't matter. All you need is an income and checking account.

Then you can still sink that money elsewhere.

Definitely dont want to hit any trails without a spare. Some trail parks won't let you enter without one.

 

Get a treadwright spare. U need a spare dude. Think how inconvenient it will be wen u need one. Would u want to drive any other vehicle without a spare handy?

 

Mine is a 2013 and I wheel the fawk outta it

 

yes you need a spare. just because you don't wheel it hard doesn't mean you can't get a flat. On the road or trail. If you do get a flat and it's not repairable then you will be buying the 5th tire and still won't have a spare. I wouldn't even think twice about it.

 

Yup I've seen pictures!!!(:
