Spare tire replacement

Have any of you replaced the spare tire? I had the unfortunate need to use the spare tire the other week while being about 50 miles from home. It all worked out and we got home, slowly but safely and no damage to th car. The next morning the spare was flat. So, time for replacement, a good idea anyways considering how old the tire is. Just, I could not find the tire in the size needed, 105/95 17. I’ve spoken to half a dozen tire shops, including Tire Rack and a rep from Contenital Tire. The closest in size that Contential Tire recommended is 115/95 17, which is a tight fit for both the tire cover and relative to the hood. Anyone have any experiences with finding a replacement?
