Where to find a new compact spare? | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I just bought a Mangel wide five 15" x 4.5" wheel to serve me as the spare. I've seen that a T125 70D 15 compact spare tire would work with that wheel. The problem is that I'm not able to find one new. I've checked with Western Auto and Pep Boys with no luck. Where would I be able to find such a tire? Thanks a lot.

Ricardo, go to the junk yard.....they have hundreds, and they are a'' new...just pick a pattern tread that you like, and they are available in 13", 14", and 15" so make sure you pick the right size.

Thnaks for the tip guys! Why wasn't I sharp enough to think about that first?
