Spare tire option

[Jeff Berk]

I have a 260Z with an intact spare tire well, wheel, and a very old tire. Are these tires (collapsable spare) still avalable? If not, what should I be using as a spare? Tirerack dosen't have anything.

Hi Jeff.  I’m using a 2007-2012 Nissan Sentra spare tire that’s 125/70/16.  It bolts right up and is lighter than the original full size spare tire.  Look for them on eBay...they are readily available and not pricey.

Just a followup.  Looks like SoCalJim has you covered.  Your 260Z would have a full size wheel and tire.  Tiny spares were introduced to the Z's in 1977.

My wheel well is large enough for a 25.5" diameter tire but my spare is a space saver. Someone must of did a switcherooo. Too old to use but I know if there is any reason to save it.

I'll look for a used spare '07 to '12 Nissan Sentra, thanks for the info.
