new spare tire
Another question for my 1970 Ultra 26....
Any recommendations on a new spare tire? Tire size I can easily read - more concerned about a new rim (offset, bolt pattern,etc).
Believe it or not, I still have to original, split rim spare time on her - with the original rubber. I will probably keep it for sentimental reasons although do not think it will be usable in an emergency...
Thanks

Re: new spare tire
On my ‘78, it has 15” wheels with a 6-5.5” bolt pattern.
In fact, I just put on a new set that matched my old set (discovered a wheel with wallowed out lug holes, couldn’t find just one wheel but found a set of four) and am putting 2 wheels up for sale. I’m keeping one as a spare and not sure what to do about the wallowed out one...
If these happen to match yours (or anyone else’s) they are up for grabs...

My 1970 26 ultra does have 15 inch, 6 bolt rims on it. Am wondering how much it would be to get one to va....
Re: new spare tire
I just replaced my spare with one. The rubber looks good but is dated 2013, good enough for a spare I guess and it matches which is a plus. Are these the same wheels as yours?

Re: new spare tire
Mine has the original steel wheels and hubcaps. With that said... a spare can be most anything as long as it fits in the wheel well when/if needed.
Thus, I am not picky on the spare. I do, though, suspect that the current, circa 1970, bias ply tire on a split rim will not work well (dry rot and all!!).

Re: new spare tire
Ah, yes... I should have re-read your post.
I have the original spare from my trailer, nothing special, just a standard black steel wheel.
It would probably cost more to ship than getting one new.
