1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Spare Tire
The Dodge Ram 1500 includes a spare tire as a safety feature in case of a blowout, puncture, or other emergency tire situations. The spare tire resides underneath the bed of the truck for easy access, and typically comes in the same size as the full-size tires on the truck (all-terrain tires, up to 275/60R20 in size), allowing the driver to effectively replace a damaged tire and continue driving without significantly impacting the truck's performance. It's crucial, however, to consider that this tire is really only meant to serve as a temporary solution; prolonged use of the spare tire, especially at high speeds or over long distances, may lead to reduced handling and potential danger, making it essential to have the original tire repaired or replaced as soon as feasible.
1998 Dodge Ram 1500 comes with 4 OEM tire size options. Select the original equipment the tire size installed on your vehicle to see all spare tires that have roughly the same tire diameter and can be used as a temporary replacement in the event of a flat tire. Remember that load carrying capacity of the spare tire must be the same or higher than the load carrying capacity of the original equipment tires in order to safely support the weight of your vehicle. Refer to vehicle owner's manual or contact Dodge dealership to confirm the correct 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 spare tire size.
