I'm going on a trip next week. I've never had a flat with this car at home or on the road but I want to be ready.
The rear has a clutch type limited slip differential and I want to stow a spare that is the same height as my rear tires.
It so happens, a 225-75-15 is just about right.
There are a LOT of trailer tires in this size.
Also, a pickup bed trailer that I have needs new tires so I was considering the idea of simply using one of them as a spare tire for the trip.
I've read that trailer tires have a much stiffer sidewall and are not designed to handle lateral loads like a car or light truck does but.....who drives aggressively on the spare?
