What is with these 20 - 30 yr old spare tires? doesn`t anyone rotate their tires, including the spare? I do with the 240, buy will have to admit on the 85 300D, it has 205 70 14 instead of the 195`s, and a 205 doesn`t fit in the tire well in the trunk, too wide and the board sits up a little. so I have a 195 for the spare.

The one under my Datsun has probably been hanging under there for the past 20 yrs. and can any of you beat this? the International Harvester 1 1/2 ton truck was last driven in 79, and has been sitting in the barn since then. these are 7.50X17" tube tires. still holding air.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
