37 inch spare fits in spare location on 23+

[healthyrx]

How much more space does it make? Is the exhaust the limiting factory or it is the hitch itself? Wanting to fit a 38x11.50.

At 37” the exhaust was limiting it. I don’t think even a deflated 38 is going in there as this tire is fully contacting the hitch on both sides and was a very snug fit to get it in there
In my case the 5” exhaust in its stock location was also resting on the tire and I didn’t want to risk melting the tire

This tire measured at 36.25” when inflated to about 60 psi

What pressure is everyone running in the spare @37”? My k03 isn’t really fitting at around 12psi and an orange HD strap. I’d bet if I aired down to 10 psi and used a better strap it would work better. 2026 f350 with a 37x12.5r17.

40 psi at the moment but she’s in the bed. Figure now’s as good as time as any to drop 3k on a friggin hitch. Held out as long as I could, had some spirited offroad driving and the tire bounced and busted one side of my folding bed covers latch lol.

When I was a kiddo I didn’t give a shit about a spare anything. Now I carry tools and first aid stuff and have to have a matching spare. The tism touched me on the inside.

CJC gave me 5% off so at least I still have one of my balls

lmao - it has, and it could be worse-er.

Only the greatest amongst us carry five full size matching. The gods among us carry six.

or whatever


(you should see me getting ready for a road trip - it's as bad as anything. gotta have every little "just in case" I'm stranded in a line of parked interstate travellers because the two-lane highway is shut down due to a lithium battery fire or something. I want to be comfy!)

So very true. It’s annoying til you need it and don’t have it. Found a fellow with his hand missing at the wrist in the desert last year and kinda beat myself up for not having a tourniquet. Sure I can use a belt and anything for a windlass…but a quality tourniquet is like 27$. Better to just have some. I’m gonna throw some lavawrap around my heat shield as well. These Falkens have been amazing I don’t want negligence on my behalf to be a reason for failure

What a monster

Fixing to head to the tire shop this morning. Just so I’m clear, mounting a 37/12.50 on the stock spare steelie is fine?

SPECIFC tires will fit. Falkens will not. I forget what will I know it’s posted here somewhere.

Alright, so I read through the first 3 pages of the post and didn't see what I'm talking about. They actually make exhaust wrap. Older cars used it under the hood to contain heat from entering the engine bay, motorcycles use it to keep heat off people etc. Here is a quick link I found on Amazon. It was probably made with asbestos back in the day.

A brand new Toyo AT3 will fit . Other tires might fit if they are less than half tread but results will vary.

Bingo. Putting on AT3's this morning.

If you are going to wrap your exhaust, I heavily recommend these SS cable tensioners. I use them at work for wrapping exhaust (OEM manufacturer for construction equipment) We typically get 10-12,000 ties installed and tensioned before they stop gripping.

We use ssct-250-15 ties usually buy 15,000 at a time. (15" 350lbs)

@Jack., going to encourage you to purchase a fifth wheel to the four on your truck so that you may include that fifth new tire into your truck's tire rotation schedule. You might see a 20 - 25% reduction in tire wear! but the real benefits lie elsewhere.

Sure, one tire will always be 5000 miles behind the others (but it's typically just 2/32" wear) but the benefits down the road will pay good returns if you flat and need the spare for any real distance home.

Your ABS, traction control, roll stability control, locking diff, etc will continue to work seamlessly when all tires are within such close wear to each other.

The other benefit of a five-tire rotation if DIY is we only need to lift one corner of the truck at a time. [Preferred pattern is known as a "rearward cross" - the front two are crossed to opposite corners of the truck and the two rears go straight to the front axle, same side]

After dropping the spare (use a piece of cardboard or a mechanics creeper or even a furniture flat dolly),
the spare goes onto the passenger rear,
the passenger rear goes onto the passenger front,
the passenger front goes across to the driver rear
the driver rear goes forward the to driver front
and the driver front goes up into the spare cradle for a 5000 mile vacation, rinse and repeat every 5000 miles.

Thank you! but would that be with the oem heat shield still in place?

For those upgrading your tires to 37s, I was able to mount a slightly used 37” Toyo on the stock Tremor wheel and fit it under my 2024 F-350 Tremor spare tire mount. Although I have a Carli kit, I don’t need to buy the Trophy Hitch. In addition to cost savings, this has the advantage of not needing to run on a stock 35” in case of tire change, especially useful when towing. Hope this helps.

Did you have to air it down as others have had to?

Discount tower mounted and reinstalled my without question.

It’s inflated to 40psi, which is fine for most purposes.

@Modman @modified please merge with my old thread. Same 8x170 8 inch diameter wheel and toyo at 37 tire.

Toyo AT3 37/12.50/18 and on OEM Tremor rim. To my own surprise, I’m able to fit it without much effort really, it sits 100% in place, it’s a tight fit but nevertheless. The tire is currently at about 50psi. One issue, it is barely touching the exhaust, on my best try to move it away from the...
