Serious question: why the hell did someone decide to use two different size tires on a four wheel vehicle?
Smart car is the same way. Fronts are smaller. They don’t come with a spare tire, but a tire plug kit is standard. If I remember correctly, it’s stored under the passenger floorboard, next to the battery.

The problem with these toe plates I’m having is the YouTube tutorials show how to set the plates and then they say adjust till you have like 1/8” toe in I believe, but I don’t know which tire I should adjust more on to make things track straight and the pavement quit eating these tires alive.

first picture is about 250ish miles right BEFORE I adjusted things using toe plates and second picture is roughly 980 miles In. The drivers side tire is on the right side in both pictures. Since adjusting it has caught up somewhat and they have similar wear now, just wearing fast.
