D78-14 Space Saver Tire
« on: August 08, 2013, 07:02:00 AM »
I have recently picked up this D78-14 Space Saver tire and rim. It appears to be unused. Pics are below of the various markings. It has a couple of purple paint daubs on the underside. I am not sure whether it belongs to a 69/70 Mustang or another Ford model so if anyone can advise I would appreciate it.

Not from 1969-70, it has the dual valve stems. Probably from a Granada/Versailles/Monarch?

The size is all wrong for those applications. I can not advise on which Ford model it came off of but the stem indicates it was a 71 or later IMO.
