If you get a mini spare at a junk yard, be sure to check the diameter of the
inner hole, the Roadster needs a large hole, and I bought one that fit on
the back, but not over the spindle on the front. Paid $5 for it and then gave
it away. Try some tire gunk in the spare.

Hello Listers,
There was discussion awhile back about options for single use spares. I
would
like to carry one in my '67 1600. Somebody mentioned using one from early an
Maxima.
Are there other models you have found that also work? Or should I just head
over to my local auto recycler with the old spare??
My car has what the PO says is the "original" spare tire and wheel, but it
has
a slow leak. Good enough reason to replace it, but is there any good reason
to keep it?
(in storage with the old jack maybe?)
