    Exclamation

    !! you dont want a spare tire on the rear axle of your VX... the wheel is smaller, so itll make a rotation faster.. so TOD is going to think its slipping and constantly be sending power to the front im pretty sure the owners manual also tells you to move the spare to the front if you blow out a rear tire

    You are correct Sir! I checked the sticker on the spare and it said "must be on front and don't go over 45 mph."

    Couldn't you go buy a steel 16 inch wheel and tire in the mean time, and then you would have a real spare whenever you go offroading.

    I haven't measured it yet, but isn't the spare the same height as the factory tire, just not as wide.

    I know...

    I know that this probably won't help you at the moment, but don't know if you remember guys putting in switches to turn off the TOD monster, I always thought about getting around to it, just for instances like this. So maybe for the future.
