Hi,
Looking at the trunk of the Mirada, its pretty fair sized, before the full sized spare tire is put in. A lot of space gets used up by that spare. Is there a temporary/compact spare tire that can be used with our cars? I know that there was one from the factory, but it was not the skinny spare tire that comes with modern cars, it was more of a full sized rim with a collapsed tire on it that you filled up with a can of air. What I am asking about is the modern, skinny spare. I would like to see if it fits in one of the side wells of the trunk. freeing up a lot of room in the trunk (and right in the middle of the trunk). Does anybody know if a skinny spare tire that has the correct bolt patterm (5 X 4 1/2") that could be used? As long as the bolt pattern matches, it could be from another car or manufacturer. I don't think that offset is an issue.
