Spare tire size to fit 67 Tub?

[Ron N.]

I'm looking for a road worthy spare to fit in my 67 tub for use on long trips. My 4 road tires are 215/70/15. I know a 205/70/15 is too large and I don't want a donut spare.

I was looking at a 185/65/15. Also understand some use 195/75/15.

Will both sizes work / is one preferred?

Thanks,
Ron

In the past I have used 195/75 in my '65 carrier and it works like a charm (ie. doesn't rattle around and doesn't hang up when you lower the lid).

I'm using 205/75/15's in the tubs of both my '63 and '66 using the longer rear bolts. Snug but fits just fine.
