Hi All,

I am looking for 1 tire to use as a spare for my GL Syncro.  I have 4
Bridgestone Dueler A/T 693, 27x8.50-14 on the 4 corners now.  They only have
about 11K miles on them, per the PO and I tend to believe him since they
have a lot of meat left on them.  I don't plan to buy new tires, but the
spare is a Dayton SR, 205/70R14 M+S. The speedometer is dead on and I like
the ride with the Bridgestones.

Does anyone have one of these Bridgestone tires laying around that I could
buy?  I don't really care if they are worn as long as they are still legal
since it will only be used as a spare.  The model was succeeded by the 693II
and then the 695.  I will even settle for the same size of a different brand
tire.  I am in Foster City , CA and will come pick up in the greater bay
area.

Thanks.
