Spare Tyre

The car came replete with the spare and jack. I do not know if this is the original spare tyre. It's before my time. But it is a hard as a rock bias ply and it needed to go.

Once I had the old tyre off, I stripped and painted the rim. Then mounted and static balanced a brand new same type and size tyre that's on the car now.

Here's the new verses old.

Just used the cheap static balancer for this and sticky weights. Shouldn't be a problem without the dynamic balance as the rim is so narrow. That is unless there is some defect in the tyre.

One more item ticked off the list.
