Question:
Can I mix one MXS77FR with a steel wheel as a spare?
asked by: Patrick
Expert Reply:
For temporary use, yes, Patrick. The # MXS77FR will get you off the roadside safely as long as it’s the same ST225/75R15 size and Load Range E, and same lug pattern of 6 on 5-1/2". Just don’t mix different wheel materials in regular use - aluminum and steel flex differently under load. This likely would be fine, but I can't recommend mixing and matching different wheel materials for long-term use.
If you need a steel wheel and don't plan to replace all of them, just use # KE72EV.
