Rod -- Had a similar problem on my 72 TR6...turned out to be that my
spare tire (a different brand than the others) which was mounted on the
rear passenger side at the moment, was 3/4" SMALLER in diameter than the
other tires, even though it was marked as being identical in size! I
never knew that that same size tires from different manufacturers could
actually be larger or smaller in diameter. Phil
