Just became a member a few minutes ago and was wondering if anyone has tried to purchase the G8 space saver spare tire that is used in the base model G8 (with the 3.6L engine)? I have a 2009 GT and was able to purchase the jack and other parts from Pace Performance in Niles, OH for $125.00 (including shipping). I was able to get the unique (only used on the G8) 17 inch space saver steel wheel from GM, but they don't handle the actual tire. I called Goodyear, who makes the tire, and they don't have any and are not planning to get anymore. Anyone know where I can get a T155/80 R17 space saver tire? I already tried ebay and craigslist, no luck. Salvage yards don't look promising because only the base G8 had the spare and there was only two years (2008 & 2009) of production. How many totaled base G8 models can there be? I have confirmed that the spare used on the base G8 will fit the GT model and does not interfere with the calipers.
