Ever wondered why 22" wheels are stock on our truck?

[kickinassrt-10]

Well I figured out the answer thanks to having a shi**y start to my Monday. After my tire got a mysterious hole in the side wall I had to deal with putting the spare on, and from the first turn with the spare on I knew the answer why we have 22" wheels. Ever tried stomping on it with a spare? Ever tried turning with a spare? Well if you have been unfortunate enough you know that the spare has POOR traction and has a very small "bite" on the road. You can literally bring the tread life on a spare down to 50% in one light to the next..Forget about turning (you will need another spare for your original you just burned off) but for real you can't even make a normal turn onto a road without the tire having at least a slight peal out....I knew there had something to do with more than just looks of a 22":burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :rock:

LMAO.thats hilarious,would be a blast to try!

I'm sure I could make it happen with 2 spares...I just have that type of mindset...as soon as I bolted it on and started er' up my first thought was "I wonder how bad this thing would burn from a dead stop?" and you can bet your ass I found out the answer to that (like 25 times), especially since I don't give a damn about a spare ....lol

Why would you drive like you normally do with a spare on? Looks like you need to get a 5th OEM wheel and tire as a spare.

Trust me I didn't want to drive with the spare especially as damn ugly as that thing is, but I had no choice bc I have a driving job that needed to be finished and the tire also was not stocked at any local tire shops...had to be ordered for today, $215 later....I'm going to get it in a hour!

I had the exact same thing happen to me last week. Blew a quarter size hole in the side wall. $202 + shipping for new pirelli.

Yeah, but you..... You asked if anyone tried stomping on it with a spare on. That made me think you were driving as if your tires were all 22's.
