Description of the problem | Purchased vehicle new from marshall dodge in oct. 2016. I have just realized that my spare tire is a different size. On the ground i have (4) lt285/60r20e.. And as a spare i have a lt275/70r18e. This is the way the vehicle came from dodge. I do not feel safe if i would have to use the different size spare, especially pulling a 40ft. 5th wheel camper. I have talked to the dealership and fca case management and told that this is normal, and i would not have any problems. My case number is 76379630 . I also feel that would not be good on the transfer case and differential. Could you please advise me on this problem ? Is this safe as ram has advised me ? |
