I recently found a 68 rim (AG) with a bias ply white wall Goodyear "Speedway" F-70 15 tire (mounted on the rim black side out). Could this be the original spare tire? (I know the rim is right)... I'll probably get rid of it, but just wanted to know. Thanks, John

Keep it.
Don't get rid of anything.
I learned this lesson the hard way.
You might need it some day or someone else might need it and want to pay you for it.
Keep it !!!!

Trouble is, at least in my case, that doesn't happen until a day or two after you throw it away.
