Hi All- I'm currently running Achilles 122 All Season Radials -165/70R13 79H tires on my '78 x. It seems that tire is a tad too wide to fit in the spare compartment behind the passenger seat. Could someone please advise of the tire size that would fit? Thanks for your help.

I wonder if there are any late model Fiat compact spares that would work? My 145-82/13 Michelin XAS original spare weighs a ton. Those steel wheels are heavy and to add insult to injury the XAS requires a tube. Then, there is the weight of the steel spacer plate required for those wheels. I have a vague recollection of it weighing almost twice as much as the wheels/tires on the car.
That's a good idea, note that the thread I linked to predates the return of Fiat to the US. Funny that the new car parts didn't occur to me at all. I don't see any newish Fiat spares on Ebay. You would think there would be at least one.
Thanks, all. I'll try to wiggle the 165/70/13 tire in the compartment again, but it sure seems tight. The old spare I pulled out was a Michelin 145/13- very old with an innertube. That was its only demarcation.
