Replacement spare tire?

My spare will not hold air anymore. Where can I find some sort of replacement for the spare in an '85 GSL-SE?

Thanks,
Seamus

junkyard or get an old stock wheel & tire and use that as the spare. That's what I do. Only bulges a little in the back.

You know, this is always a good excuse to get bigger, nicer looking wheels and tires than the stock set up and you can use the full size stock tire asa spare, though it would take up some more space as you would jus have to let it lay in the back of the car. Just a thought.
