spare tire question
Hi guys I have a 2015 Silverado 1500 and I have a question about the spare. I got a flat the other day and when I went to put the spare on, I discovered the factory spare is a different size. The dealer is telling me it is okay to run on the spare even when carrying a load in 4WD. I just wanted to get a second (or third) opinion if this is going to hurt the truck in any way. The truck has P265/65R18. The spare is P275/70R17. My understanding is they are the same diameter so should be fine.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Jenny
