JB:
I stand it very well. I have stood it well for years.
And my spare fits properly... on or under the van... :)
A lot of it depends on how and where you drive your van.
Good tires and good gas mileage help me stand it very well. 20mpg in town
and 22-24 on the road at 60mph. What kind of mileage do you experience with
16"ers?
