The spare tire is just for vehicle regulations in the 70's. The spare will work on the front but not on the rear.As a spare on the rear, if you use it for any lenght of time you will ruin you ZF trans.Two different size tires on the drive axles doesn't work. The early P cars had the spare tire placed in the front compartment, till they figured out in a front end collision the spare tire became a missile
and ended up in the cabin. I have heard stories of the air cannister exploding from the radiator heat. Larry put me in the paranoid group , my P car road side emergency repair kit weights about 40 pounds! Chuck
