Default Re: Spare Tire question.

I kwow that on a Corvette, it's a bad idea to mout a smaller diameter tire on the rear as a spare, as the Vette has a positraction rear axle. It would cause the the posi clutches to activate in the rear and burn them out while traveling in a straight line since one tire's outside diameter is smaller then the other.

In other words, the rear diff would think it's turning a corner. Now.if the H3's diff has posi clutches..it's a No-No..!! Not sure if the 3's diff's are posi..??

Are they..???
