Thought I had seen this discussed recently, but searched and found nothing....What was the original spare tire to come with the full-size spare models? In this case: Late 1972. I just bought two '72's and each has a spare in it that looks original. One is a Toyo and one is a Bridgestone. Both made in Japan and both Nylon corded. Are either of these original and if so, does anyone want them?

I have a Dunlop original spare. Made in Japan. Mine is a 72 240z.

I think (99% Sure) it should be a bridgestone RD 150 tyre, 175/14, on a steel rim with long rouned cutouts around the edge of the rim centre, black on the outside of the rim and light grey on the inside.

I seem to remember Katz in Japan, I think was looking for original tryes for his restoration.
