Price friendly spare tire/hardware kit? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

130$ for 1 spare wheel? Sounds overrated in my opinion. I wonder what the prices are for a spare tire now? Priceva says that the price of a temporary spare tire will greatly depend on a few factors, mainly the size, performing ability, and brand of the tire. Generally speaking, the price of donut tires ranges from $50 to $200. So I guess not that bad.

I have that BBK and went with a regular spare.
If I get a flat front tire, my plan is to put a rear wheel/tire in the front, and the spare in the rear.

I may be overly paranoid, but I would worry about what effect that has on the LSD. That said, I don't know the proper solution in this case. The owners manual actually advises the opposite, to put a compact spare on the front but when that doesn't work because of the BBK, then what?

You can probably just find a wrecked first gen in a junkyard

Yeah I've always understood that spares should not be mounted on driven wheels, at either end depending on the vehicle. (I suppose AWDs get a pass on that.) That said I have never seen a person swap front to back or back to front to follow the advice.

I've done that when I had a flat in a front tire of a FWD car - swapped a rear wheel there and put the spare at the rear.

I got a spare tire from a legacy or whatever for $50 and got a tie down screw for free from the local salvage yard
