Canada Tire size difference with spare - will it wreck the AWD?
Apologies if this has been asked and posted but I could not find anything....

I put some 255/55 R19 Nokian's on the HL recently. Should I get a flat and replace the flat (temporarily) with the stock 245/55 R19 Toyo, will it wreck the AWD because of the differential in tire size on the one axle?

Thanks in advance!

It won't wreck the AWD.

Not enough difference in size to have any effect. The vehicle would never know the difference... plus you aren't going to be running the slightly smaller tire for any length of time as a spare. You're good to go!
