Just did a 5-tire rotation on my 1-year-old Cooper AT3s and got a flat a week later. Piece of metal sliced through the top and the guys at Town Fair cannot patch it (probably a whole other thread for that). I have an unused Revo 2 AT tire from my first round of tires with zero miles on it in the EXACT same size.
Am I taking a risk using a different brand tire as a spare even though it is the same size as all the others and has close to the same mileage (light usage DD)?
My concern is that a tire even being a little bit off could create issues with the drivetrain binding up, but maybe I'm just being paranoid.
Appreciate any thoughts. As much as it was horrible timing for a flat that cost me a meeting, it was actually good practice using the tire drop-down mechanism.
