    Did you have the center diff locked while towing and before the tire went flat? No
    Did you notice the vibration only after changing the flat? yes. I noticed the vibration before the car s running, and got worst when i run.
    What is the nominal size of your spare (i.e. 205/60-15)? big one from V8, i mesure from the ground is the same as my 16 inchs Audi wheels.... I changed  too small one, but the vibration began when i locked. With the right spare the sound was the same when i dont run but is less loud when i run the car.
    What is the nominal size of the rest of your tires? 16 inchs

I noticed the vibration was much more loud with another smaller spare tire,,, i understand the wheels dont turn at the same speed cause the spare is to much diff from the others... but i dont went i use the right spare....
