[s-cars] Tire/ Wheel Issues

[Mark Strangways]

I doubt very much there would be any great issue between a wheel worn down 
and a new one.
I ran staggered front tires and back tires (one size on the front and 
another on the back), no torsen issues.
What is the dia. of the compact spare ?

FWIW, I would replace the bad tire with a new one as well as the one on the 
same axle. This is more important IMHO.
