What would you tell the owner to expect for handling changes between these two tires?
(old) P235/75R15 108T and (new) P225/75R15 102S (which is the stock size)

chinochulo,

I think that you're basing your theory on the "collaspable spare" seen in a few cars nowadays. For example, the Mercedes ML has a collapsable spare. Basically, there is little air in the spare. When you take it out, Mercedes has an air pump to pump it up.

Not a bad idea. It is a PIA, but could work.

Thanks.

Having had a couple flats in the last year, my experience is that both vehicles' stock-sized spare tires were running low on air anyways. So, it's just prudent, IMO, that our vehicles have a tire compressor on board. My plan is to run a rear tire carrier with larger tire, but on-board air is a necessity.
