No. The extra expense for a matching tire and wheel doesn't make sense to me. It requires additional effort to make sure the rotation is done properly, or the time and work to do it yourself. What do you get out of it? Your tires last a little longer, but you have the additional expense up front to get that extra wear. Save the money and use it to buy good tires when they need replaced.
What do you do for a spare? That’s cool if you’re going up a size, but when you add 5” per tire that now donut isn’t going to be much good. I guess there are two possibilities depending on your new tire size.
I have the spare that came with the truck. I'm running the tires it came with. It doesn't make sense to me to replace perfectly good tires on a new truck. I like the wheels it came with, and will see about different tires when these need replaced.
Yeah, that makes sense. Agree, if I was running original tires or even size, wouldn’t see a point in changing the spare, especially since it’s a steel wheel.
So when I switched from 35s to 37s you can see where the metal touches the tire and not the rim at all, so you shouldn’t have to worry about scratching the rim if you want a matching 5th. The Nitto Ridge Grappler 37 (36.7” I think) is a tight fit, but does fit. The 35 fit with no worries.
