4.30 W/28" Rubber or 3.90 on 26" Shoes?

Good point.

BTW, the V8 LXs have a 28" compact spare
Cool, didn't that but I assume that would be due to the sure-grip differentials.
YOu can't run two different size tires with a posi rear. It will self destruct.

I've NEVER carried a spare in my classic cars for several reasons
Good point, I forgot he would most likely have a sure-grip. Care to share insight on why you don't carry spares?
