For an 81, has anyone ever actually had to use it?
Why ?...Because I can't imagine the OE sized tire from a 81 fitting in there!

Now were on the same page. as I don't think it would fit...beats me thats why I asked the question. Maybe someone knows for a fact if it will or won't.81 Corvette said:i dunno if it fits the tire carrier, i just tossed mine in the back

yeah, my spare is one of those early 90's gm 105/40-14's. but it doesnt fit right. lol .the front driver side tire almost leaves the ground with it on. and i dont have a jack either. i put my amp in the jack storage area as to not cheapen the look of my car like some people (you know who you are).
Once in a while I think about taking down the spare tire to see if there is any air in it. It's never been out.Tom
I wonder what a bottle of Original St. Louis Corvette Factory air is bringing on ebay right now?

Hi..agree if close to home or town..but it depends where you are driving...here in the Western USA..you can be 150 miles from even a tiny one-horse town in the middle of the desert, ..and..with no cell service...hoping someone will come along in an hour or so..then, finding a tire...maybe, leaving the car to do that...it may be stripped or full of bullet holes. Flatbed tow vehicle..?? not likely. Some towns that are on the map..are only a collection of old ruins when you get there, tourists that think they will get gas there are out of luck. There are many stretches where you must have 250 miles of fuel on board to make it.Why keep it on the car? It is adding weight and if you are unfortionate enough to use it in this age of mobile communication then you're really in for a dangerous ride!
That's why i removed mine
