i usually find uniroyal's on the factory spares, they suck

my E-32 has a V rated Goodyear spare which I believe is original. They suck just about as bad as Uniroyal's...which are right there with Cooper tires...lol.

My '93 has a Uniroyal spare in the trunk I think came with the car. I hope I never have to use it. Anyone want to buy it? You can probably find enough spares arouond for a complete set. Why would BMW equip e34's with these dognuts anywho?

Mine had a Uniroyal spare when I bought it...I tossed that poor excuse for a tire and put a Yoko db S2 in there. There is nothing more lame than a donut spare (which neither of my cars have).

Speaking of donuts, I was putzing along at 80 on I40 when I was passed by some (what could have been) mexican guys in a Honda that had 2 donuts on the back...scary crap, I guess they missed the part about not doing much over 55 in those things. I eased up on the gas so if they lost it I could exit at a ramp to avoid what would have been an interesting mess.
