    Default Anyone have a spare...spare?

    My beautiful winter machine blew a tire today.

    ...I'm guessing the awesomeness of the Grand Marquis was too much for the road to take.

    Anyways, I'm using the spare and it's fine...this car isn't exactly classy.

    What I'm wondering though is if anyone has some spare, spares kicking around they like gone.

    I just need something in-case.

    Any suggestions on where to get a cheap tire...or preferably free...for a 1991 Grand Marquis would be great also.

    Sizing is 205 70 R15 5lug...but anything that works.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. High-tailed it down there just now and got two better winter tires for 30bucks.

    ...now I may even be able to stop.

    The great thing about those cars is that pretty much any full size ford from the eighties ro nineties will have interchangeable parts. Brakes, suspension, wheels, tires etc are similar for the Crown Vic, Marquis, Town Car, Continental and a couple others.
    They are perfect beaters for that reason. Parts are cheap and common.

    Truth. Took the two off an 80 Grand Marquis and test fitted on an 88 Towne Car. Interchangeability is definitely a plus for the domestics.
