Default 1995 Spare Tire

I replaced my 20 year old Goodyear spare tire today with a T155 70R 17 Continental. Bought it from tire rack and it delivered in 4 days. I had discount mount it to the wheel and now I have peace of mind. The price on the web is all over the place so if your looking for the correct size tire rack I found had the best price.

I never think about the spare tire. Mine has never been down since new in 1995. If I let the spare down now what should I expect????

I carry 2 cans of fix a flat, a 12v air pump, a charged up cell phone and my AAA card. I have no interest in changing a flat on my C4. Does the flat tire even fit into the carrier?

When I bought my 93 two years ago, my spare was flat. I assumed it was because the bead on the rim had rusted. It had tons of sand and dirt piled on it. I had considered having it taken off the rim while I cleaned it up and remounted. HOWEVER, I carry the same tire flat kit as 73n95 in both my Vettes.

Yes, as long as it's not a ZR1 - then you got a bag to put the dirty flat in and carry in the hatch.
