RE: [DML] Delorean Spare Tire

["Videobob Moseley" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I remember correctly, our bolt pattern is 4x100 or something like that, 
which is the same
as on most Honda Civics, is that right?
(if not, someone will correct me I am sure)
In this case you could use any little Honda doughnut wheel out of a 
junkyard.

Do you want it as a spare, or just to complete the car?
The original spares are heavy and don't hold air worth a crap.
If you change the tire you will find that there is no place to put your flat 
tires
because it won't fit back in the trunk.

Best bet is to carry a tire plug kit, can of fix-o-flat and a 12v emergency 
air pump.
You can fit all this in the same tire hole or behind the seat.
You can put some of that Tire Slime in your tires and you won't have to 
worry.
However I just keep good tires and a cell phone, I figure I will just call 
for a tow if
I need it.
