    Hey Clyde - I was curious myself so did some digging… there are some on eBay that have supposedly never been used but they’re still old, plus I think you’re just looking for the tire… I think Vredestein was the manufacturer (possibly others) based on photos.

    I came across this thread on Pelican: https://forums.pelicanparts.com/pors...-86-911-a.html

    Based on the above thread, seems like the only option (to get a new tire) is to purchase complete wheel… seems as though they run around $450 through various shops… a bit more on Pelican.

    Part on Pelican: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/92836203002.htm (for reference).

    Maybe other members have more info? Good luck with the search.

    Hi Clyde

    Check with Gary Emory (Rod's dad) at Parts Obsolete. He should have piles of unused, used Space Saver tires. I had piles of those things when I retired.
