Different sized spare tire

just out of curiosity..

is it even worth it to carry a spare tire if the tire is a different size than all of the other tires? It doesnt seem to be too dangerous...you will only use the spare for one trip, and your wheels can travel independently of each other...the only problem I see is that your ride will sink (or rise) in one corner.

if thats all you got its ok .. just be sure and use it on the front of the ifs only and not in 4wd ,dont put it in the rear .. so if you get a flat at one of the rear tires put one of the front ones on the back where the flat was and the spare in the front .

what is wrong with using it in the rear? It's not like the diff will be locked.
