Thanks, I bought the car off the second owner who owned it since 77, he never changed the tire and its a michelin XZX 165-15 that's never hit the ground. I was going to offer it to anybody that wanted it and the steel rim for free if it was orig. otherwise in the trash it goes.

Gee, don't throw it away yet. Try the classifieds first. It would be could for concours display only. I would think someone could use it.

Sounds like a winner! My spare is a '72 Conti, that's never seen the road, but cracked so badly it won't hold air unless I put a tube in it! How many of you know what a tube is & where to get one these days?
