next time put the spare on the front and the good front on the back if this still worries you. I believe you can run a small percentage of size difference without issue (not certain of the number, 5% or less?)

Quoted:
so my 2002 Avalanche z71 (g80 locking diff) blew a tire right before i got home. put the spare on and drove the few miles home (3-4 miles, dont think i got much past 40 mph, all straightaways except 2 turns at the end). Wasnt till i got home i realized that the spare is "smaller" than the other 3. Nitto terra grapplers 285/70/17 all the way around and the spare is a regular truck tire but in 265/75/17. I didnt "feel" any difference but i was wondering more about the diff seeing how its 2 different sizes. My next question is, would it be ok to drive the truck 4 miles (5 turns total) to the tire shop to have them replace the tire or should i just throw it in a different vehicle and take it down? |

You’re totally fine driving to the tire shop. Like 1000%.

You'll be fine to make it that far. Hey at least you noticed and didn't drive on it like that for a few months!

Drove there this morning and got the tire fixed. I didnt feel any issues while driving there or on my 25 mile drive to work. I did ask the tire shop and they said it was ok and atleast I didnt drive on the tire for months like alot of people do

You’re only looking at 1.6mm overall difference in height. Not a problem. The width difference isn’t an issue.

4 or 5 miles, no big deal... keep the speed down, i would not go over 60 or so, unless emergency.
