I want to replace the OE spare for my Sienna. It has cracks on sidewall.
The size is (T)155-80-R17. Unfortunately, only one chain around me (American Tire Depot) has a tire in that size. They only want $363 for it, although they were nice enough to offer me 4 for the price of 3.
At this point I have two questions:
(1) The other retailers will offer me 155-80 tires with different wheel diameters (for example, Americas Tire offers diameters of 12, 13, 15, and 19). These would not fit on my spare wheel, correct?
(2) Since the normal tire size is 215-65-16, but the manual says it will also take 225-60-17, I’m wondering—couldn’t I just buy a normal tire (a 225-60-17), and have that installed onto the spare wheel?
(3) FWIW the tires I have on it are 215-65-16, but I'd only be driving on the spare 225-60-17 until I could get it to a tire shop so the different size on one of the tires wouldn't matter--would it?
