Where to put non-full size spare tyre after puncture
I'm wondering where I should be putting my non full size spare tyre when I get a puncture?
My spare is 2" smaller then my other tyres and the tread is a lot more road bias.
I guess the spare on the rear is best as steering is maintained. I have an air locker on the rear as well.
Yes/No???

If you have a LSD in the rear and you put a 2'' smaller tyre on the rear it will cause the LSD to be constantly slipping when driving in a straight line - This will reduce the life of your LSD, if it is an open center rear it won't hurt over a short distance (50 Klm) but it will make your spider gears work hard and over a long distance could cause them to "wind up" which again reduces the life. The best option IMO would be to put it on the front with the free wheeling hubs disengaged. That's m2c.
Now I think about it the best place for the wrong size spare is in the back corner of the shed and go buy the correct size for a spare
