There seems to be some good updated possibilities for the Tiger or
Alpine spare tire; that's a good thing.
=20
What we need to take away from all of this is that no matter what you =
have
or find for a spare tire you need to know for sure that is fits and is
functional.
Its not a spare if it does not fit or if it does not function well =
enough to
get you down the road when you need it.
=20
I'll have to test fit that P155 temporary spare I have to see if it =
could
work as a spare.

the rear, but not the front. Or the other way. Or something.

A possible solution to what to use for a spare and rim has been used by
member Jim Armstrong and I hope he will chime in here.
What Jim did was to find a compact spare from a 74-78 Mustang. The bolt
circle is the same as the Tiger, so it bolts on without
any difficulty. It also takes up less room in the boot, being a compact
spare. Seems like a good solution for those who can do=20
without total authenticity.
As had been said, make sure you are carrying the proper lug nuts to =
attach
your spare.
Cheers,
Tod
