You would think that since there were close to five thousand SSR's manufactured and did not come with a spare tire, but does have an AIR PUMP you would be able to convince someone to make a 19" space saver spare just for this application.
I'm planning on driving from Wash, DC to San Diego and then north on the Pacific Coast highway, really want to take a spare, just in case.
Wheel Warehouse Inc has used SSR wheels in the 300-400 range,ph# 800-941-6400, can take the wheel to Discount Tire to wrap it up. GM Dealer tells me one wheel is $1K new. f y i
If you have a store in your area, see if they can locate you one. I don't know if they can or not, sometimes they have local connections for things like that. Its worth a shot.

Can you tell me what is the "Projected" opening date for the new store in Warner Robins, Ga.? Might I say, that they have done a great job of transforming the old REX Electronic/Appliance bldg. EDIMGIAFAD
I spoke with the Georgia Regional office they project it to be open in the next two weeks. There will be an announcement printed in the AJC for their Grand Opening.
Our stores can order the Toyo brand for you. We don't mail order them so I don't have much information on them. What sizes and what tread are you running?
Looking for the Proxess S/T, which are about to be replaced. Local DT shop way overpricing because of "rarity" I suppose and won't price match. Looking for 275/45 R19. Any help?
Appreciate it and thx.

I wish I could, we don't mail order the Toyo brand. We would be happy to help you with an alternative if you are interested.
The 09 Corvette ZR1 is coming out with Michelin Run Flat Tires and I wonder if they will be making sizes that will work on the SSR's.
The tire sizes will be: front 285/30ZR19, rear 335/25ZR19.
I have sent Michelin an e-mail to see if they will be manufacturing any other sizes. Will post when I receive reply.

OK, can you get sizes not listed on the site for General UHP's?
As long as General has them in stock, we should be able to order them in for you. What are size are you looking for?

3800 miles and a blowout, bummer. I hate hearing about blowouts. I take it your ok and nothing major happend, thank goodness.
wow_fcrt is correct they will be hard to find in a size that will work for you. Run flats are great if you don't have a spare and you get a flat. You should be able to drive them on them a short distance to get you to a tire shop. There are a lot of misconceptions about them though. Yes you can drive on them when they are flat but not for very long and they are usually pretty pricey. They almost always still have to be replaced after they have been driven on flat. Run flats can however decrease chances and the severity of a blowout.
The fact is, a blowout can happen at any time for a number of reasons. The best thing to do it try to avoid them and follow your tire manufactures safety recommendations and warnings. Always maintain proper air pressure and have your car properly aligned. Make sure your tires are proper load rated for your vehicle and do not exceed the speed rated limit of your tires. See your tire manufactures web site for more specific safety details.
Another option for you, if you are unable to find a run flat that will work for you is to look at extra loaded tires. They have reinforced side walls and can also decrease your chance for a blowout.
I just wish I could find out what the correct tire pressure should be for my original OEM tires which now have about 6,050 miles. The door sticker recommended pressure is 30 PSI, however, I've seen numerous posts recommending higher pressures to improve tire life while also providing a side benefit of improving gas milege.

We always suggest sticking with your vehicle manufacture recommendations when running the original equipment. But ultimately the best pressure to maintain is a pressure that allows the tires tread to wear evenly. If you want to double check that the pressure stated in the door Jam is correct, give the tire manufacture a call they will tell you the pressures recommended. You can then adjust your pressure from there +/- lb to make sure tires are wearing evenly.

I purchase a set of 20" wheels from another Fanatic.
He was running the Toyo Proxies S/T which are not being made anymore.
He kept the tires for his new wheels.
He was running 255/40-20 on the front and 315/35-20 on the rear.
The front tire size is the same diameter as the stock tire.
The rear is 1/4" smaller diameter than the stock tire.
What tire would you recommend in these sizes?
