Spare tire?

How many of you guys carry a spare tire? If so is it a full size or donut?

Re: Spare tire?

I grabbed a compact one from a JY 95 Firehawk. Beats having that collapsible spare that came stock in a 3rd gen.

I've never needed one, but sure beats having nothing if I ever do need one.

Re: Spare tire?

I carry a spare as well. Not sure why - haven't used a spare tire in over 15 years! But the day I remove it, I'll have a flat (Murphy's Law). Since I have a 4th gen rear with LS1 rear disc brakes, I had to switch to a 4th gen spare (my stock spare wouldn't fit over the rear discs) - but it fits right in where the OEM spare was. I have a 1992 - the later year cars sisn't have the spare with air can, but a pre-aired spare donut. If I had the canned air job, I'd also carry an air compressor - doubt those air cans work after all these years.
