Default Help with a decision?

Ok I have a dilemma. I have a full 33" spare and rim that don't match but look similar. Do I buy the rim and replace it got the tire hook up from a friend (he is gonna swap it out for me). Or do I get the CB I want for topless weekend?

I'd do the CB for the trip, if you've been running the spare that way for awhile then a little longer isn't going to hurt

Get the CB. Looking a little better doesn't get you off the trail any easier. Function over form.

CB. If the spare is the right size and you are not rotating it in....it's doing its job as a spare.

The cb. It's essential.

What others have said. As long as the tire is there just in case, get the CB. If however you were going to rotate it in, then I'd still get the CB, but put the matching spare/tire next on the list.
