I'm a truck driver and I'm on the road a lot. I don't have a whole lot of time at home. I need to get a new set of tires (235 45 R18) for my 2014 Volkswagen Passat and I'm currently running on the donut spare after a flat and I want to lose it and get a full size spare wheel. Any tips of websites or a way to find a single wheel that matches mine? The faster the better. Thank you, Randy

Just a reminder that you probably won't have anywhere to store it that it will fit in.

? Bet it just needs the one because it wrecked the wheel too? If all new tires and is AWD quick get an exact new tire, Tom

Who and or how could it be known you just wanted a full size spare? Why if other one can be fixed with a new tire just do that and put it all back together you don't need to be there where you had new tires done should tend to all that 100%.
If just a wish for a 5th exact wheel like many could be and are then you rotate that one in so all wear the same or would be obsolete when others are part gone throw the car off how it tracks,
Tom

Engine blew up after oil change, is mechanic responsible?
2005 Maxima overheats only when idling but engine temp comes down immediately if I rev up the engine (even though car is stationary)
