Original Spare tire
I believe this tire to be the original spare on my 59 Pontiac but naturally I can't prove it since I or someone in my family is not the original owner. However, when I purchased the car I was told that the tire was original by the seller and he in turn said the person he purchased the car from was the original owner. This is no proof of course but the tire does look very similar to the pictures I have seen from 1959. Also the rim absoluely looks brand new which would help support at least the possibility of it being the original spare. Until definitively shown otherwise I believe this to be an original 59 Pontiac spare tire. It is an 800x14 Firestone Deluxe Champion. Perhaps someone who knows more about this subject can comment.
