All right, and I also have that *exact* tire, which would make a pair.
There is some concern, however, about a tire that is 25 or so years old,
even if it has 100 % tread life remaining.

Subject: original '81 Vanagon tire

Who is getting ready to concours your air-cooled
Vanagon?  You'll need this!

I have my original spare tire from my '81.  It is
a 185SR14 Reinforced Radial Continental TS 771 that
may never have hit the road--or maybe once when I
had a flat.

Come and get it!  (Boulder, Colorado)

Otherwise, out it goes--unless I decided to bronze
it, put it on a base, and award it to Larry Chase
for all the tire-work he has done for us.  ;-)
