“Toyota is putting bf goodrich rugged trail t/a tires on their 2008 Toyota Tundra crewmax trucks in size p275/65r18 but are using michelin ltx a/s as a spare in size p255/70r18. The michelin is approximately 3/8 smaller in diameter. I have asked for a tire that matches the others as a spare but they refuse even though I believe it to be a safety issue in inclement weather.”
