I've got a 70 El Camnio w/ 60x15 tire and wheels and I've got a 60x14 spare tire jammed behind the passenger seat. Does anyone know if one of those mini spare tires that new cars have would work on my 'L'. I only would need it to get me to someone that could fix the flat. I sure could use the space.

I have a T145/80D16 from a 80's General Motors rear drive station wagon in my '69 Elky. Many others will fit but if you have a posi, you need one which matches the diameter of your road tires.

If the diameter of the mini spare is significantly different and you don't want to wear your posi ,try this; - if you get a flat on the rear, switch a front tire to the rear (if they are the same size)and put the spare on the front - then drive carefully as with all mini spares.
