[TR] Spare won't fit

[Dave]

I purchased a very narrow tire that fits.  unfortunately, its in the shop 
right now so I can't go out and identify it for you.

What do folks do about the fact that a new radial ply tire won't slide
into the spare compartment in a TR3A? The old bias ply I have been
carrying around for 30 years fit, but just barely. The best I've come
up with so far is to deflate the tire and carry a cheap-o air
compressor.
