biggest possible Syncro tire is shown on Coyotes website, 30x9.5x15 I think
on an Syncro-16", I'm running 29.2x9.4x15 (which is 235/75/15) no way will
it fit underneath. I'd stop at the 28.5" diam also, less chance of rubbing.
Solution will be a scrounged swing out rack from Bronco, with new feet
bolted onto top of rear bumper for tilt-down effect, latched onto rear
hatch/corner.  Let's hope this works!

no clutches, much more expensive viscous coupling instead :)

no safest place, 4 same size tires.  I'm at the extreme of wear on rears,
front are healthy treads, and I suspect I'm winding up the VC too much. When
I broke the front joint I could hear the freed up axle clicking steadily
when driving straight, meaning some speed differential F to R.  I don't
highway with this setup, town/offroad only. So I keep my fingers crossed.
The VC tolerates some speed mismatch before lockup, I'm abusing that I suspect.

 One remedy I can see to grossly mis-sized tires to try and air down the
bigger tires until rolling diameter matches the fully inflated 14" tire,
then limp home slowly (my plan).  Alternative would be to carry a tube and
really have fun fitting it in. That 'flat-sealer' in a can is not a bad
concept now.

Final point, since I like Yokohamas,  Yoko F742, 8 ply heavy lugged, in
7.00R15 is about 29.4" diam.  These are tall narrow tires, will likely fit
better than the 9.3" wide MTs I have.  "not for extended summer or high
speed driving" sez right in the catalogue.  bye, Tim
