Hi,
I was doing a little spring cleaning today in my building and came across a space saver spare. When did Pontiac start putting space saver spares in the T/As? The space saver has something like a F70-15 tire on a black steel wheel. Are the tires date coded? Was the space saver rim the same as the standard 15" steel wheel? Thanks, Mike |

Mike, According to the PHS I have for my 70 T/A, the space saver was an option. Under "AMA Specifications-Passenger Car" on page 18 it states, "...optional space saver spare is on 14x5 rim wheel"

Yes, definitely available on a '70. Mine has an original space saver and the wheel was painted a grey/beige color.
Also, the '67 Bird I used to own had a factory space saver (it was on the invoice and window sticker) as well.

I think the later space saver tires used 15" rims. I have a space saver from an '81 T/A I had a while back and its a 15" rim. My friend has a gray space saver from a '74 SD and it was on a 14" rim.

The tire size is what's throwing me. It's the old F70-15. I thought tires had gone to the 235 and 245 style tire by then.
I have three suspects for where the tire came from. I have junked a 72, 74, and 76 T/A over the last couple of years. I think it's out of one of those, but I'm not sure which. There is no inflator bottle with it. Mike |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
