1970 spare tire question? opened the trunk today and noticed it had a jcpenny's tire on there was that original? second question i was told it was worth money because it is"orginal" but dont really trust the source just wanna know what you guys think

I really don't think an old JC penny tire would be worth much.

thats what i thought. but had to ask

That JC Penny spare isn't an original tire.

No car manufacturer used department store tires as original equipment tires. Ford used Firestone and Goodyear back then for factory tires.

The only thing "original" to that JC Penny tire is being original to the 70s decade. It has no added value.

Hello. If the car came with the space-saver spare, it would have been a B.F. Goodrich, if it came with a full sized spare it would have been a Goodyear more than likely, although it could have been a Firestone, as Jay mentioned. How this tire would affect the value would all depend on how difficult it turns out to be to get that junk off of the perfectly good wheel so that it can be disposed of properly.

From my experience, the full size spare tire would be a Firestone. I have never seen an original factory spare be anything other than a Firestone.
