Funny this thread should get started now. I just pulled my spare from
my 88GL, same tire, same condition. This puppy has never been driven
on. I just got 4 new tires w/ a matching spare. I'll give my old spare
away to a good home. I'm north of Seattle in Everett.

Or, we wait for one more listee to chime in, we end up w/ a set of 4,
sell 'em on ebay (listing title: NEW westfalia tires, $4000) and
divide the profits 4 ways? (just kidding)
