Thanks

I actually saw a bit of a hit in the mileage for the few days that I ran on the spare. It could have been a few different things. The spare is basically new so it had a lot more tread than the original. It also is a slightly different size (65 vs 70 aspect ratio). All that might have acted almost like a misalignment. It's a good tire too--Michelen LTX A/S.
