Brother Can you Spare a Tire?

Finally got around to looking at my spare. It is, I believe, the original donut spare from '95. Looks remarkably good too. However, if I use it I'll bet I'd be the only kid on my block relying on one that old. Should I replace it with another- same type or do you (can you) fit a full size spare in the compartment? Are those donuts the same diameter as the road tires?

You can fit a full size tire and rim in the compartment. I have had 225 75R15 and 235 70R15 in the compartment.

Went with full size spare

One evening, my beautiful wife and I heard a sound like an 88 mm cannon going off in our home. We looked for evidence of a terrorist attack or an airplane crash but found nothing.

Months later I discovered it was the 65 PSIG donut spare in our Eldorado had completely blown to shreds while in the trunk. Never been on the ground.

Full size spare is the right move.

WOW

Years ago my mom was dating a guy, and they were returning from a primitive cabin with their trash in the trunk...the spare detonated making a trash bomb in the trunk.
