I'd like to have a spare for those out of the way trips, but don't want to carry 2 on my sxs. Ideas and thoughts???

Safer to have one the size of your fronts as it will fit all 4 corners...too large of one, like on rear, may not work on the front. Make sure the rim offset will fit both front and rear also.

I've briefly talked to a guy with a Razr that was running one size tire and it made me start thinking about the idea. Most our rides are on Forest Service green sticker trails, so giving up alittle traction shouldn't be a big deal. If we were in the sand a lot I'm sure it would be a different story. I just wondered how common the one size tire was with the rest of you guys. Thanks for the info, I'll double check the offset, good point.

We are mostly sand riders, but ride a lot on trails with a lot of SxSs, mostly rzrs in NorCal. Noone installs a spare, as they will plug a flat and never look back....the only time ive heard of a spare used is once a tire was ripped beyond repair.

A lot of people run the same size tire all the way around with after market wheels. They use 12x7 or 14x7 wheels on all four corners.
