Re: skinny TR3 spare tire

OK guys and gals, here's what I do for a spare in my post 60,000 TR3A.

I keep the 165-15, which is mounted on a 4.5 inch (wide) rim, partially
inflated (15 psi, I think) and I keep a foot pump in the boot.  Also, I
sprayed the interior of the spare compartment with a clear Teflon paint type
material and (this is the important part) I tie a loop of light rope through
the hub, so I have something to grab when I need to pull the tire out.

Hey, it works for me,
