    There seems to be some good updated possibilities for the Tiger or
Alpine spare tire; that's a good thing.

What we need to take away from all of this is that no matter what you =
have
or find for a spare tire you need to know for sure that is fits and is
functional.
Its not a spare if it does not fit or if it does not function well =
enough to
get you down the road when you need it.

I'll have to test fit that P155 temporary spare I have to see if it =
could
work as a spare.

I'd think just abut any Fox body (4 bolt) space saver spare would fit. =
Ford
used anywhere between 14" to 16" tires on those cars. If the spare =
(though
smaller) was sized accordingly to the OEM tires they might come in a =
variety
of sizes. Even though the FWD (Escort, newer Cougar etc.) cars are =
listed as
having a similar bolt pattern be aware that the center hole (and likely
offset) becomes an issue.  I went through a lot of that with my Pinto =
that
shares the same 4 X 4.25" bolt pattern with the Tiger.

Also be sure the center hole for the hub fits both the back and front of =
the
car.  Some of these are smaller than those on a Tiger or Alpine.  It may =
fit
the rear, but not the front.  Or the other way.  Or something.

Happy hunting!

A possible solution to what to use for a spare and rim has been used by
member Jim Armstrong and I hope he will chime in here.

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
any difficulty. It also takes up less room in the boot, being a compact
spare. Seems like a good solution for those who can do=20
without total authenticity.

As had been said, make sure you are carrying the proper lug nuts to =
attach
your spare.

Cheers,

Tod
