Of course! I did not mean to imply that one should use outdated rubber.
Presumably, you can obtain replacement mini spares.
Putting any spare tire on your Tiger should be only a "limp home"
solution and I think most owners treat it as such. In my
case I run different sized tires on front and back so it's impossible to
have a spare which would be an exact replacement
for every situation anyway.
As for newer ones that would fit, I guess you would have to look for a
rim that has a 4 x 4.25 bolt circle. I don't know of
any off the top of my head. Does anybody?

What Jim did was to find a compact spare from a
74-78 Mustang. The bolt circle is the same as the
Tiger, so it bolts on without<br>
any difficulty. It also takes up less room in the
boot, being a <u>compact</u></span> spare. Seems
