Great information and links. I asked a friend who lives in nearby Mesa to go see the car but I never heard whether she could so I suspect not. Thank you!
In the link to the other forum he did not state what the aspect ratio for the tire would be, but I searched a 135/70R15 and that is the same size as most temporary spare tires currently used. Wrong thread, but I guess that resolves the issue about having a spare with you. Seriously though, that is a small tire.
