Hey there guys,
I hope anyone reading this can help me out on a problem with my camaro's spare tire.
I have an '89 iroc-z with the 5.7 TPI motor. This January, one of the tires went flat...no biggie. When I went to change the wheel, I used the cylinder to inflate the spare/compact tire.
The tire inflated unevenly and was bulging at different points. Needless to say, it drove very wobly. My brother, who was driving behind me, said the tire looked as if it was about to come off of the wheel.
I took no chances and parked the car and simply took the flat tire to be replaced (Yup, it needed it).
The following day I called several tire centers and was told that the spare is a dealer-specific item. After having called the dealer, they told me that it was discontinued.
I've been driving since then with no spare. I really don't want to carry a full-size spare because of the Bose sound system. I'm sure it'll get in the way.
Any help is appreciated!
