Need source for spare tire 850 1995

Today I discovered that my spare's tread has separated and the steel wire is visible. It has been used but wasn't this way when I stowed it last time round. I know I could call around to salvage yards but was wondering if anyone knew of an online source of the space saver spares. I don't need a new wheel, just a tire. Is there some reason I've never seen the tires available separately?

Thanks,
Erwin

    Thanks for the replys. I have the third seat option so a full-sized wheel & tire (I'm running 15"s) won't let the seat fold down. I haven't tried removing the styrofoam support for the mini spare yet.

    I've called around different salvage yards with no luck but today I'm going to the local U-pull-it. If I can't find anything and can make a full-size fit I'll do that. If not I'll follow up with one of you guys with a spare spare.

    Need source for spare tire.....Tire Rack.com 850 1995

    My donut spare exploded in the trunk, unused. The original donut spare was a FireBomb (Firestone) and exploded after about 5 years of sitting in the trunk unused, it blew a 4" hole right out through the tread. Like most people, I replaced it with a standard steel wheel and Khumo performance tire from Tirerack.com, total cost was under $200. Now I can use the spare if I want to with no speed or mileage restrictions and it's not going to explode on me. The spare is the same size as all the stock aluminum rims on the car now.

    I bought a steel wheel from Tire Rack ($36) at the time. Then a local used tire dealer mounted and balanced a used Goodyear Eagle for $20. This fit in the well in the floor of the 1995 850 wagon (snugly). So now I have a full size spare.

    I also have an unused spacesaver tire and wheel, in Charleston, WV, let me know if you are interested. KenFreeman"remove this"@frontiernet.net.
