You should put the mini spare on and roast it to the rim. I want a video of it. :beatyoass:

lmao now I'm actually thinking of going and getting and extra just to do that to it :rollin:

 
NO WAY !!! I have seen a couple of local guys do that, and ended up with a damaged fender from the tire shrapnel. You have a damaged fender already, so jump on that wagon. Not for the Sport though.

I had to use the mini spare tire two years ago and it worked very well. Even the tire itself looks like new (it lived whole its life in the trunk under the jacket). I went very slowly (70km/h max) to nearest tire service, where they repaired my punched tire.
But I would like to mention one thing. The car looks totaly weird with this thin small tire.

I am with Vinny on this one. Big AL has a burnout contest every year. I love that part of the day. I give out more business cards that day than all the ones for the entire year. When the tire blows it pushes out the QUARTER and does real bad damage. I never ever do a burnout stunt. I spend endless hours trying to hook up not spin the tires!!!!
I spend money I don't have, To build  cars I don't need, To impress people I don't know

HAVE YOU DRIVEN A FORD LATELY!!

What's that thing on the back of your car? Under the license plate.

That is a trailer hitch.

I had two mini spares on the front of my 86 for a while. No problems, and I sure didn't do 50mph. The tires aren't ballanced, that's why the low speed rating. You put some volkswagon tires on there, I hear they work well for drag rim skinnies.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
