1979 Trans Am Space Saver Tire Size Information

[gidave]

Owner of a 1979 Trans Am with a space-saver wheel with no tire.

Does anyone know the tire dimensions, who made it, and the best way to get a new space saver tire mounted on this wheel?

I don't want to spend $400 for an ancient space saver wheel/tire when I already have a good wheel.

I just need the space saver tire information.

No, I cannot get the tire information off the tire itself; the markings are either nonexistent or blurred. Thanks in advance.

@gidave, if we remember correctly, it's a BF Goodrich Spacesaver Spare F78-14 / Replaces 7.75-14.

Thank you!

I can't afford a spare for $4k, so I'll start selling my Apple and Microsoft stock.

You got to do what you got to do.

We've seen many of them come and go on eBay for way cheaper.

Watch there.

That tire is not reproduced.

Additionally, you would never use this as a spare tire on your Firebird in this day and age.

You can have a standard tire made to fit that wheel or buy another one that has not been inflated as purely a decorative piece.
