Ditto to Randall's 155 radial which I use in my TR3.  On another car I hsd
the boot/trunk floor cut out so I could carry a larger wheel in and out
through the boot.

A 155 radial will fit, if you can find one.  I had one that someone imported
from Europe on their own, but it got too old to be safe and I had it
recycled.

Today, I have a "compact spare" mounted on a standard TR3 rim (T135/70D15
IIRC although a T145/80 might be a better choice).  Main problem with it is
that it is so small, I have to pack something else beside it to keep it from
sliding around.  But it has worked quite well, the two times I have had to
use it.
