I have a 300B with the micro-spare, just acquired a pre-decontented non-polished wheel and tire, the question is... Is the rim secured upside down with the face of the wheel down? or is it up? The threaded shackle I have in the 300B is too short to mount it face up... If it is up, then I need to get a hold of a longer shackle. A picture would be helpful.

thanks,

A Marauders equipped with traction control have the mini spare. It has something to do with the traction control. The full size spare is the same as the front tires although smaller than the rear. I belive the traction control light will activate if the full size spare is mounted on the rear.

I think that sorta answers my question - So the spare is a 235=50/18, right?

With traction control on, the computer will start to flip out at about 45mph. If you turn it off, all will be well. If I had different-sized tires, left-to-right, I don't think I'd be pushing it too hard, anyway.
