    One narrow tire for the bonnet

    Ok, so I’m just a little older than my ‘59 Series II. But it is magnitudes stronger than me: I don’t feel like lifting a super heavy lid that houses a tire I will probably never use. I’m running LT235/85 R16.

    There’s the problem in a nutshell. I’ll probably never use it but what is a Land Rover without a tire in front?

    So I’d like to replace it with something narrower and lighter. Both the tire and the steel rim. All it has to do is work with the other three to get me someplace for a repair.

    Any suggestions as to how to go about this will be appreciated. Thx
