I need new tires on the back 2 tires. Im running 265/70/R16 and i dont have the money to buy new tires and replace all 4 yet. The spare tire for my 3rd gen looks good to use. it doesnt look like a spare tire either (its not skinny and small like on cars) the spare tire is actually a Wrangler ..err something, but the size on it is 265/70/R16 also. i was wondering if i can buy the exact same tire somewhere and then mount them on. so instead of buying 4 tires or 2 ..ill just be buying 1 and using my spare as another 1.

thanks.
if u guys want me to clear things up i'd be happy to .

You should have no problem doing that. Just make sure you look for cracks or signs of dry rot on the spare as it may have been hanging there for years. Other than that just put one of your worn out tires on the spare rim and make sure you buy the same size when you get a new one.

Use it if you want. Heads up, if the tire is 10 years or older most shops will not mount them. If you do then mount one of the tires on the road as your spare. I just disposed of a brand new 10 year old spare tire. (I just upsized my tires and spare)
