Need a picture for the wheel, but the "long miler" was a truck not a passenger car tire.

Bill --- so THAT'S why it's such a tight fit in my '65 spare tire carrier . Measures about 90" circumference; wouldn't fit until I sprayed Armor-All on tire tread and inside contact surface of tub.

Other data: non-DOT, 4 ply, Tubeless Nylon, V-1, 7.75 x 15.
(Backside) replaces 6.70 x 15
