May be a silly question but my pajero spare tyre is size 32x11.50 R15, the
running tyres are size 265/70 R15, are these sizes "interchangable" or do i
need a new spare, any helpful advice welcomed

AFAICT, the equivalent to 265/70 R15 is 31x10.5 R15, so your spare is too
big. I've got 265/70 R15, which is the manufacturer's original size, all
round on my Mk 2 - but some makes (e.g. BFG) don't do those and only do the
31x10.5 R15 size.

For more info, try the Pajero Owners Club (http://www.pocuk.com/) - one
thread on the subject is at:

Yes you do need a new or a second hand spare of the same size as the tyres
on the four road wheels.

Better tell that to all those manufacturers who provide new cars with 15"
steel spares for 17" alloys, or space saver spares...

Yes, my Ford Explorer has a different size spare from the main wheels.

The usual advice is to drive carefully and get the puncture repaired as soon
as possible.
