Pray you never need to get a replacement spare tire.
After checking my car (tire pressure, fluid levels, etc.) on Saturday, I noticed the tread on the spare tire in the trunk was coming off. "No problem," I thought. "I'll check around with some of the tire stores in the area and get a new one." No luck. "Okay, I'll check with the guy from my church who owns a tire shop." His supplier doesn't carry the size my spare tire is. In fact, the only place I've seen on-line that even recognizes that this tire size exists in the Chevy dealership in Taneytown my parents use. Unfortunately, they have no tires of that size in stock.
So, on Tuesday, I go see the guy from my church and find out what he recommends. I'm hoping that if he can't do anything, the Chevy dealership can order the tire.
But if anyone knows where to obtain a tire of size T115/70R16, please let me know.

You know - the way I've always acquired spare tires (well with old car, and recently in the Volvo) is thus:
When the normal tires of the car are replaced as a matter of course, the best of the lot is relegated to the spare slot in the trunk.
This has the advantage of being slightly more stolid than your average spare. *nod*
This is true. Of course, an actual donut is more reliable than a donut tire. (AND it has SPRINKLES.)
Um...good luck?
Fortunately, the guy from my church had a used spare tire that has a slightly wider cross section, but still fits the rim and in the trunk. Thus, the quest has been successful. And it only set me back $8.
