Re: 79 spare tire (jroyse)
The original is basically a temp spare, but here's the big question. If you get a flat, you can pull the spare out of the carrier, but what do you do with the tire from the car? It doesn't fit in the carrier. I'm nice and clean since I'm getting ready to go over to visit my mom today, but if you haven't gotten an answer by the time I get home tonight, I'll lower the carrier and get the size for you.

Re: 79 spare tire (1979toy)
The spare should be a Goodyear temporary tire size P195/80D15
The real question is......Will a 24 year old temporary spare actually hold air under load? :rolleyes:
