I have been running larger than stock tires on my trucks and 4x4 suv's since I was a teen and only once (Jeep Wrangler) did I buy a fifth tire. I always have both a tire repair kit and an off-road size can of Fix-a-Flat with me. Have had to plug a tire a few times, had to limp in once when I ran over a nail gun belt of framing nails (yeah was flapping away with a good dozen holes in the tire) for a big a$$ internal patch to be put on. Never needed to use the Fix-a-Flat though (I would only do so in an extreme emergency).
Been lucky for the most part.
You always here about how BAD it is to stick on a smaller (stock size) tire to get you to the tire shop in an emergency, but they been puttin' donut spares in vehicles for years, so I dunno?

I have 36s and an LSD but my stock spare was a 32". I dont keep my spare with me because of how my exhaust is ran. I do throw it in the bed when i go out of town but i also have my air tank and compressor as well as air hose. I also keep fix-a-flat and green slime with me as well just in case.

i don't mind keeping the spare in the bed i might just pick up a cheap 35" when i get my new tires
this has been a deciding factor between 33's and 35's just not sure what size to get, i don't off road much, a bit of field driving during haying season and few trips to the hunting camp so i don't need the articulation
thanks for the input!
