Subject: [Roadsters] Space-saver spare for a Roadster

Has anyone sourced a space saver-type spare tire to fit a Roadster?

I am taking the first baby steps to getting SRL311-13291 back on the road a=
fter 35 years. Today I put vehicle dollies under the rear wheels and saw th=
at the right rear tire, which I aired up last September, has a split outer =
casing ? which it didn't have in September. It is holding air, which is kin=
d of amazing, but the damage is quite impressive. Increasing the pressure i=
n an old and obviously brittle tire must have split the outer belt.=20

This reminded me that I will need to replace the spare ? which is an origin=
al bias-ply tire and so brittle/shiny that it looks like a glazed doughnut =
? and I would like to put a space saver spare back there to recoup a little=
 precious trunk space.=20
