Thread-topic: [TR] Pre TS60000 TR3 and Radial Spare
Thanks to all who responded to my question of what size radial fits the early
TR3 tire compartment.

The answer appears to be a 155SR15 on (in my case) 48 spoke wires (which are 4
inches deep).

My next problem is finding a 155SR15 in a wide whitewall.  The only offering
I've been able to find is DiamondBack's BFGoodrich at $227 a pop.

Anyone know of alternatives?

I'm also considering using four 165SR15 Coker wide whites ($160 each)  and
carrying a blackwall 155SR15 Firestone or Vredstein as the spare.

Brian
