Spare tire–Donut Question:

[wspohn]

You need a thin tire that is 26.7" in diameter.

There are tires that are close enough to serve as spares for short periods without cuasing diff problems, at 225x55-17, 205x65-16 and 205x70-15, if you can find a spare wheel that will fit and if that wheel fits over the brakes. Do the research as to what cars those tires fit and see if they have compact spares you can pick up in wrecking yards, whose offset and bolt pattern would match the Solstice.

Yep, kidding! But seeing a Sol or Sky with a "conti" and fender skirts will not surprise me that much............

Hi there!

Re: diff, while it may not be a choice depending on circumstance, the answer with using a mini-spare on out car would be to always put it on the front, rotating a good front wheel to the back if one of the back wheels has had a problem.
