    Spare Tire for 62

    Hi All

    I have an original rim for my 62 and I need to buy a tire for it. I'm using it for a spare tire. I read in an earlier post that repo tires don't fit in the spare tire well. Is this true? Is there any certain brand tire out there that fits it the well just right? Your help is appreciated.

    I was able to get a fully inflated BF Goodrich repro by Coker to fit in the well in my 58 a couple of months ago with no problem. The lid even fit nicely afterwards.

          I had a Coker B.F. Goodrich 6.70-15 on a stock rim as the spare in my '57 - it fit OK in the '57 spare tire well diameter-wise, but it raised the spare tire cover about 1/4" above flush with the floor.

            I had the same experience as above with a set of Coker BFG's on my '59 and the wooden board lacked over 1/2" from seating so I let a little air out of the tire, and now it seats just fine.
