Well, it doesn't need to save "much" space, IMO.  Just enough to be able to
remove the spare without resorting to a rope tied around a tree !  That's
not such a big issue for those with post-60K cars (the well was made
bigger), but it was a major hassle with TS39781LO.

BTW, the diameter is somewhat smaller than the stock tire.  Again, this is
only for temporary use at low speed.

If you don't happen to feel the need for a smaller spare, then by all means
ignore this thread.
