[TR] Spare won't fit

[wbeech at flash.net]

I have a 155/R15 that fits in my '58 while the '62 has an old belted tire,
probably like what you have.  The belted tire holds air just fine and I
figure it would get me as far as a newer compact(cheater) spare would.

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.
