Buying a used tire to carry as a spare?
My tires are 275/80R 22.5 Michilen. I'm considering buying a used tire to carry as a spare. I know a newer date would be great and the same make tire, but I'm assuming that will be hard to come by. So....how old is to old...since it will be carried inside one of the cargo bins, out of direct sunlight. My guess would be, that this tire would only be used to get home or maybe to a tire store, till a new tire replacement could be bought. Any suggestions? Also, I would need to get roadside assistance to change it, so is unmounted ok....or would it be best to get a rim also? Thanks
