Few things are worse than getting a flat tire, putting on that anemic little spare tire, and then having the spare tire last for just a few miles before shredding and becoming a motorized pizza cutter. Unfortunately for me, that just happened.
So now I need a new spare tire. One option would be to just locate a proper rim and buy a tire for it, but storage space for a spare is at a premium (this is on a 1997 Saturn SL2, the spare tire well is pretty much only big enough for the standard crapmatic spare tire). Short of going to the dealer, where would I locate one of those emergency spares? I'd prefer to avoid a junkyard. The tire repair store didn't carry them, I didn't see one in the J.C. Whitney catalog, and I don't think I'll have much luck hitting the standard array of chain auto parts stores (Autozone, Pep Boys, Napa, etc.) although I'll give it a shot anyhow. Any ideas or suggestions?
