I'm not clear on the 2 spare logic.
Further to my comment about different size wheels, my previous car, a Subaru with AWD had specific instructions if the donut spare was used:
- if the spare was to be installed on the rear, install the spare and remove the AWD fuse so that the vehicle would be in 2WD
- do not install the spare on the front. Remove a rear wheel and put it on the front so that the spare could be on the rear. Remove the AWD fuse so that the car would be in 2WD. Under no circumstances should the spare be used on the front of the vehicle.
I never heard of this rule about putting the doughnut tire on the rear only.
Is this a Subaru issue , or do other manufacturers also say this ?
Luckily, I've only used my doughnut tire one time in 20 years, and it was for the rear tire.
