Where can I get a replacement spare tire

[SoCalpinoy86]

Hey guys, does anyone know where I can get a replacement spare? When I bought my ti... it wasn't there. Also, is it a full spare or one of those small spares that tells you not to drive over 50 mph.

Thanks

Space saver spare, definitely not over 50/60MPH.

Do you happen to have a picture of it? Is the spare go on the underside or from inside the trunk under the mat?

The donut spares are bullcrap. If you plan on lowering or lightening your car, you should ditch the carrier underneath your car as it weighs about 30 lbs and scrapes when you pull out of driveways. There was some sort of bulletin regarding that a while ago. Spare tires were being found damaged when owners needed to use them. I have 4 steelies with pretty worn snow tires that I use for spares. They're full size and I could go over 50mph with them. Not only do the space savers limit your speed and handle poorly, but if your car is lowered they most likely wont work. If you want, I'll bring one of the steelies for you to the Socal meet.
