Hi all,

I upgraded my 1998 Saleen S281 to Cobra-spec brakes, and now of course my old 15" space saver spare won't fit. I managed to track down a cobra spec space-saver wheel here:

But so far, I have not been able to track down a tire. I called Ford, Goodyear and Firestone, all with no success.

So what do all of you with brake upgrades do? Just get by without a spare?

Thanks,
Chris.

your original spare fits on the rear of your car still, right?

So if you blow a front, move a rear up there and then put the skinny on the rear.

I use AAA and keep a full-size spare at home.

Get a flat, call up your buddy and tell him to pick up your spare!
