Spare tire... Where?

I have an 87 Trans Am and I was wondering where the spare tire is? Is it in the same place as in the earlier modles? Please let me know.

All models have the spare located in the same place. My keys for the T Tops are the same as the door keys. If I change my door locks I then would have 2 different sets of keys-1 for doors and 1 for Tees. Could this of happened to you?

the weard thing is, the keys ar like ones you get with a briegcase, there not much bigger. There two of them. I wonder if they even belong to the car?! When I was at my friends we where able to remove the t-tops without having to unlock them with a key.

Spare tire

I hate the little #$#%@ donut So now i've got a full size spare ready to go in the trunk, screw that little #$#%@ donut ,you really don't get good traction with'em and where I live at, the cops will cite you if they see the #$#%@ donut twice so I keep 1 fullsize in the trunk and 2 extras in my storage bin in my back yard and i'm ready to go.
