Flat tire and a worn spare. 300 miles to go. Is this safe?

overlandout · Mar 17, 2020

2007 v8 SR5. Full time 4wd.

I'm heading home from a road trip and got a flat tire. Tires are new a week ago. I paid to replace the spare, but found out today that they didn't replace the spare.

I can't find any tire shops nearby with the right replacement.

Is it safe to drive with one tire more worn than the others? Mostly concerned about the transmission.

All tire dimensions are the same. 265 65 17.

Any advice is welcome!

You're fine.

I figured I should be. Wanted to make sure people smarter than me would agree.

You're fine. Just get the spare replaced when you get back.

I bought our 4th Gen with a bald (I mean threads showing) tire and bought a used crappy tire because it was better than the OEM tire.
