[V8] Goodyear Tires

[Tony and Lillie]

Greg,
What I was saying is, get a spare that matches the other four tires on your 
car. That way, you don't have a dougnut in case of a flat, and you can run 
whatever size tires you want on the car. Just have the spare replaced at the 
same time.
I have 10 wheels and tires for mine. Can't get snow tires in 215/60-15's and 
My summers are 16's. So, I have a spare to match each set. Of course, since 
I'm prepared, I'll probably never have a flat. But when I wasn't carrying a 
spare in my 4000........................:-)
