Spare Tire Mount

I've been careful about wheel lugs torqued, but ignored the spare.  On my last trip, I noticed the spare was quite loose.  When I checked, the spare was held by a single nut, and that was quite loose.  I took the spare off to work with it at home.  At home I found that the nuts for the wheels and spare were not the same size.  Now I carry sockets for each. I'm glad I found this out at home!

I've seen a comment about this size difference before, but thought it was on the units made by DM.
