    Garage

    Organizing the garage and realized one of the spare tires is one of the first tires I put on the 65…30 years ago.

    I had go down from 235/60/14 to 215/60/14 due to tired original suspension and improper backspacing.
    Another lesson learned very early for me.

    That’s a pretty good size item to put away and forget about for so long.  I think it’s kind of cool you still have it.

    I've still have the original styled steel wheels and tires that were on them when I bought the 69 in March of 1989. They still hold air and the tread hasn't separated like newer tires I have.

    It was my spare tire in the trunk for many years.

    When I updated to 2016 Mustang GT brakes, it went into garage.

    Re: Garage

    I still have my 65 stock spare with good tread and still still holding air somewhere in the back yard. I think its a firestone?

    Slammed Big Blue, ran over the varmints that messed with the Stang. Now all is good in the NW
