Default Re: Full Size Spare on FEH

The only question I need to ask would be "Is the temp spare the same height as the regular tires?" I've heard that you shouldn't have a temp tire on your drive axile since most temp tires are smaller than the regular tires.
The last vehicle I had was equipped with a full sized spare and my wife's last vehicle and present vehicle were also equipped with a full sized spare.
Since my FEH is an AWD model, I guess having to use the temp tire on my vehicle is somewhat troubling to me... Guess I'll be cranking my temp tire down to check the tire height against one of the regular tires.
