Hi:
=20
I run Vredestein 165/80R15 tires on standard steel wheels on my TR3A. I =
like them, except for the spare. The spare is really at the very limit =
of being able to wedge into its compartment. That has gotten me to =
thinking that a small donut-style tire might do the trick if I needed a =
spare.
=20
Does anyone know of a modern donut wheel that can be used with a TR3A?
=20
Thanks,
