Guest oakland Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Can anyone tell me where I can find a cover for my rear mounted spare tire? This is on my 29 Oakland. The car had a cover years ago, when I purchased it, but it deteriorated, and I thru it away. The tire size is 550/19. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REO_Driver Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 You should have kept it to be used as a pattern. You may need to take a tire/wheel combo to a upholstery shop to have one custom made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoover Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 What brand of tire is on your Oakland? The reason I ask, is that not all 550X19" tires on the market have the same outside measurements. If you have a Bedford 550X19, then you could buy a pre-made 19" cover from LeBaron Bonney. Those I know will fit the Bedford tire. If you have the BFG or Lester brands, then you may have to get into a custom made cover like REO Driver mentioned.

Many of the cars that he has restored have taken top awards through AACA, and he's been known to do work on several cars owned by past national presidents of AACA. He is a really good resource on a lot of this stuff, so don't be afraid to pick his brain if you have a question.Ok Rick, I'm done, time to step down from the podium <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oakland Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 The tires on my Oakland are Allstate. They are old tires, and I am going to replace 4 of them, but keep the spare. The spare looks good, but the 4 on the car have cracks along the sidewalls. I think the spare would be Ok to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
