I think a period is exactly his problem... he's about to have one and this is the prologue

What? Its a spare tire how often do you run it? The spare rim/tire combo is the same height as your 17" rim/tire combo so it wont affect driveability of your truck. I am sure it is a cost savings thats why they do it. Who cares have you ever pulled a spare tire down after it has been down there for some time? It is beat up and dirty from road debris. Buy a 17" spare off ebay and throw it in the bed if it bothers you that much.

it is a big deal why should i have to buy one when i just spent 60 .000 on a truck and cost savings ,what cost savings, maybe gm should think about what their selling . where i come from i need a good ,strong dependable truck and ive always depended on gm to supply that. lord only knows how much ive spent over the years on gm. and trust me its not just the tire its the whole truck.... and to the guy who thinks im having a period thanks when you start spending a million plus on gm products let me know and when you wake up one day and see gm closed up for good and your warrant y is useless youll understand ... from frank, in the great white north strong and free...

How often do you use your spare. in 9.5 yrs and 85K miles I used mine for a total of less than 20 miles

 

My Tahoe has stock 20's and guess what the spare tire is a 17" who cares like I said before it sits under the truck and takes abuse from road debris.

I am happy with my 16" spare. You see, not all of us care about something so menial. It also keeps production costs down.

 

Go buy a 17" and quit whining.

 

Did you ask about it before you bought the truck?? DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING!! Assumption is the mother of all F@ck ups.

see you talk about 85miles in 9.5 years im doing 60 to 70 miles in 2 years and 8 months of that are in the winter .Most time the temp is below zero and my roads are not paved interstates. most of them are gravel, mud, snow and ice. and to all who think im whinning some one has to stand up for what we want out of a 60,000 dollar truck thats not worth 15,000 in 2 years on a trade. this is my third duramax 3500hd in 5 years and they all get 300,000 plus on them when i buy another my o3 was the best my 08 is the worst ....

Dude... first of all, you're not better than anyone else here, so the high and mighty crap might as well stop now. I'm sorry you're having so many problems with your truck (even though I'm moderately certain most of them exist only in your mind) but if it's so bad, sell it and get another one or get something you'll be happy with like a Tundra.

 

Also, you DO realize that this forum isn't owned or operated by GM, right? Your ranting, raving, sputtering and spewing does no one here any good.

ee you talk about 85miles in 9.5 years im doing 60 to 70 miles in 2 years and 8 months of that are in the winter .Most time the temp is below zero and my roads are not paved interstates. most of them are gravel, mud, snow and ice. and to all who think im whinning some one has to stand up for what we want

 

What does this have anything to do with the functionality of a spare wheel/tire? Isnt the spare tire/wheel supposed to be used temporarily?

[lucasbitten]

You spent $60,000 on a new truck and can't spend $100 bucks on a new spare? Should of went with less options.....
