When I changed mine out to the G-614's I replaced all 5 tires. The G-614 is a little taller tire and having to different size tires on the same axle is not a good thing. Even the tire guy pointed it out to me also and said the same thing.

I need some help understanding the two different size tires on the same axle. They still turn completely independent of each other. It's not like there is a differential in this set up. Some of you tire guys help educated me. Thanks, Jim

It is not an issue for spare use. Not at all. The two tires are free to spin at their own rate, respective of their circumference, independent of the opposite tire on the axle. If left on for long distances (read "full-time") there might be differences in wear rates, as theoretically, one is turning faster than the other. More RPMs mean more rubber lost per mile. Simple as that. In reality, the differences we are discussing here are very marginal to wear potential.
