If you theoretically bought your tremor and it didn’t come with a spare tire and you tremor came with 35’s, what would you replace the spare with?

I’m thinking a basic steel wheel and cheaply tire in the 34” range.

The only thing I will say to the cheaply tire is remember it has to last long enough to get you back to the tire shop, having said that I would first look for a used one that is still serviceable, if that failed try to catch a decent tire on sale. Cheap usually means thin sidewalls, so if you bust or cut a tire down offroading then you'll be relying on the spare to get you out.

I guess when I say cheap I mean I’m not putting an AT3 or a Nitto under there. I’m ok buying a Maxxis or General. I would like to be able to ride it 200 miles if need be.
 



This is just an idea, all quality tires with serviceable tread.
 

If your set to go with a new tire here's an option, also some tire shops have blems that are marked down 30-40%, usually the blem is just in the script on the tires. All reliable options.

Nice! Never knew there was such a website.

Next question is, will a 35” tire fit under there?
 
Uhhhh you might have to run it with lower tire pressure but it should. No guarantee though. I posted those to give you an idea of the tires, you can usually go to your local tire shops and ask them what they have used, most will sell them.
 
Used LT 35X12.5R18 Nitto Ridge Grappler 128Q - 9/32



Just a few other options so you can compare prices maybe with a local shop.

Good idea. Thanks for the help. I don’t guess it would matter running a different size for a limited amount of time.

I wouldn't run a drastically different size, maybe one tire size difference no more than two. Just my opinion, and what I would feel comfortable with myself, but I would try to find the same size of you can get it to fit.
