Where to find a spare tire

[peteshack]

Anybody know where I can buy a spare tire for my 1977 124 spider?

I would prefer a small donut type tire that will fit in the trunk.
I currently have 15" tires, but I could use a 13" as a spare or do I need to find a 15" spare?

Thanks for your help!

First do you have a 13" rim. If so you can get tires at tireeasy.com they have a nice selection. I like the Achilles tires. I have them on 2 of my cars. The size that is closest to original diameter is 185/70 13. This size fits in the truck.

I put one from Fiat 500 and use it in front only. No rubbing

Actually I need the whole wheel, not just the tire.

So if I have a flat, Is it ok to use a 13" spare if the rest of the wheels are 15"?

It should be fine to use a 13” as a spare. The circumference should be very similar if you size the 15” correctly. The 13 fits perfectly in the trunk of course. I just put a 15 in my trunk and it fits fine too. It’s slightly taller so the board cover pops up slightly but I’ll be able to trim that out easily enough.

Here’s my 15” in the trunk. Had to put the wheel in with the inner side up and use a wedge to pin it in place. Clears my fuel pump.

I now have a 13” spare available with a new tire on it. I’m in Texas.
