That's good info 👍😊😊!!!
Factory spare is a 225/40/19 with a calculated diameter of 26.1"
Stock front size is a 255/35/19 with a calculated diameter of 26.0" (.4% diff to spare)
Stock rear size is 275/35/19 with a calculated diameter or 26.6" (1.9% diff to spare)
I assume the manual also says not drive more than XX miles and stay below XX mph?

I used the rear wheel 275/35 for my spare, cause if I use the front wheel and the rear pop the rear won’t be same diameter. The rear wheel can use in the front cause on RCF the front do not have axle so doesn’t matter which size you put, it will work as long as not hit fender.

I wonder if putting a rear tire in the front will make it handle unpredictable during turns or braking? I guess either of the two evils (front or back) is not "perfect", but still if able to continue for a bit to one's destination, then all good
