    Question about spare tires

    I was wondering in the 08 sequioa's I am suppose to have a full size spare tire correct? Meaning that my spare should be exactly the same size as what is on my car now? I checked today and my tires on my sequioa are 275/65 R18 and my spare is 255/70 R18.

    AM I crazy or should my tires be the same?:superconf

    Its still a spare, it is not meant to be driven on for long periods of times. It is a full size spare meaning same size as your regular wheels. I believe on our camry, the tire size is a bit narrower than the regular ones. The do that probably to save money in costs because smaller tire = less money.

    yes i know it is still a spare... My father in law was telling me it should be the same size hes got a new f150 and new f350 and the spare is exactly the same size as the other tires. I just called the dealership and they told me that it is in the limited edition only that has a spare that is exactly the same size. RETARTED!!!!
