Any opinions on the tire/wheel combos from Northern Tool ? BTW I did not see a spare, is it hidden somewhere ?

The OBD-II app is Torque and runs on Android. Are others for Windows and iPad but are more expensive. All can use the same BT dongle. I just have one in each OBD car that I just leave there. They do not seem to use any material power while engine is off.
If you go to the tire thread, and search, you will see lots of options. Depending on how much stuff ( junk) you carry in the TM, it is easy to exceed the rating of load range C tires. Many people have changed to 15" load range D tires for added margin. It means you will need new wheels and should have metal stems. The is a worthwhile upgrade and if you are buying new tires it is a good time to do it. You need to check to insure you have the drop axle which will provide the clearance or you will need to add a lift kit which is not a big deal.

There should be a spare located under the TM near the steps. It is mounted on a drop down slide rack.
