I installed a Vredestein Sprint Classic tire to my Fuchs spare (15 x 5.5"). The tire looks nice and period correct. I also saved 10 lbs. over my standard 15 x 4.5" steel spare. The new Fuchs really dresses up the front trunk.

During my research, I found a low cost source for Vredestein tires in Los Angeles. Call Rich Arras at Fairmount Tire - (323) 750-8676.

He doesn't normally stock these tires, but he can order what you need and you pick up or ship directly to your address.

185/70 HR-15 = $89.50 plus shipping

I can't share actual driving experience on the new Vredestein tire. It is only my spare and I hope I never have to use it.
