Which size spare should I get? I don't want to tear up the rear end with mismatched tires, and I am also concerned about steering with two different size tires. | | |

magilla, You are asking the impossible. Either buy three 700's or three 600's and you will be all matched up..

If I remember correctly,I don't think I could get a 7.00 to fit in the carrier on my 51. | | |
