I have to ask how safe are these spare tires to use after 20 years? Can a replacement tire be even had these days? I wonder if it would actually fit on top of my spacers....it should. I think the best thing about the spare is it houses the tool kit.

Are we better off with shooting goo in there with compressor (what goo / compressor brand is is considered the best?) for tread punctures and or repair plugs for the side wall? I think I can fit a rear wheel in the passenger side but that seat could be taken

I have been lucky so far. I have been able to feel slow leak punctures (nails) almost
Immediately as a little more roll than normal and dive in to repair facility when needed. Perhaps this sensitivity was an off-shoot of track driving back in the day.

Been carrying around the spare for years and I am not convinced it’s entirely practical now. The car was even corner balanced with it in place!
