My space saver spare (bicycle) wheel/tyre is 15 years old, and today I enquired about its ‘use by date’, and if I could get a real tyre fitted to the 15x4 steel rim.
Short answers are, its condition is OK as it is not steel belted, so no need to replace it, and there is no current real tyre in a size to fit the rim. Anything bigger will not fit in the boot wheel well.
I usually chuck a full size spare in the boot when I go for a longish trip, but that leaves SFA space for other items.
I’m curious what other owners of Monaros have done regarding this inconvenience.
