Hey everyone, I’m looking to buy a new donut for my 2002. Chevy no longer makes the spare tire, I was wondering if there is maybe an online store where they sell them currently. If not junk yard. Thanks everyone

You can fit a full size spare in the stock location. 👍🏼

Stick a full size spare in there.

STILL got my "stock original donut spare" under my 92... NOT SURE WHY.
Out of sight.. out of mind.
Maybe I'm just trying to keep it "all original"...lol
30 YEARS OLD.. still holds air. It was driven on once back in the 90's

Can’t disagree with the previous replies per full-sized spare but if you’re near Central Oregon you can have the one I have lying around.

Just don’t like the idea of going down the road on a thirty year old skinny *** tire at 65/70 MPH. plenty of room for a real tire.

I agree, so if I had to use one of those space savers, I would definitely limit my speed to something well below the 50 MPH maximum embossed on the tire.

Well..Mmusicman..I believe MY old 1990 donut is uglier than yours,still holding air..and older,too..LOL..yes..I changed out to a full size spare.Anybody need a heavy duty rope swing? Here's a freebie just north of Seattle.I know it was always on the van for the 14 years or so that I used it,,err..never used it..No..I won't ship it anywhere..

Those skinny spares are only good for putting our vans on a uhaul tow dolly IMO. Always prefer a full sized spare.
