I’m trying to decide if to (A) mount my 37” KM3 tire on my Jeep (via bumper tire carrier or tailgate reinforcement), OR (B) leave the spare at home and delete carrier from tailgate and keep in Jeep a tire hole fix kit.
The key question is if off-road parks require a spare to use the trails? Such as Rauch Creek and Coal Mountain in PA and others in NY, VA, etc. States around NJ.
I have Mud Terrain tires (KM3).
For my last Jeep JK of 13 years on 37” KM3s I kept spare at home and NEVER needed it (knock on wood). It was my daily driver and used off road occasionally. I loved the visibility out back with no carrier/spare in back.
From what I read online it sounds like none of the tailgate reinforcement kits actually prevent tailgate sag so that option is out.
I hear that bumpers with tire carriers rattle. Do any brand not rattle? AEV, Warn, ARB? I am not eager to loose visibility and ease of access out back after getting used to no spare for 13 years.
Assuming mud terrain tires (3 ply sidewalls, aggressive thick tread), light off-roading (blue, green) occasionally, and mostly street use, do I really need to carry my spare?
Anybody with mud terrain ever need their spare? Tell your story?
