I cant find a spare tire for my 2001 V6 mustang, wheel is good, tire blew out in truck

T125/90R15, looked for a T125/70R15 ...no luck

The 15" wheel is 4" wide ....... the tire is around 23.4" tall

What do yall think about a 135R15 or such ??

With a 4 inch rim you can run a 155-165x15 that would be easy to find
ex Firestone F560 like many use as front tires on hotrods

Try your local salvage yards. Most will have a wheel with tire that can be bought for around $50.00. It's not a hot seller and they should deal on it.

I agree shouldnt be hard to find. Do you remember back in the day the 83-84 Tbird turbo coupes came with an aluminum skinny rim. Perfect rim to put racing tire on, it weighted nothing. We had them on the front of the GTO.
