I just put a set of 195 70 14s on my bus. I want to buy a new spare for her as well but I found the 195 will not fit behind my seat and the seat wont sit in its tracks. Do you know what size came with the bus? what would work with those tires if I got a flat? Arrow Arrow Help

Your 1965 bus came with 14 inch rims and 7.00-14 bias ply tires.
Most likely thats the only size tire that will fit your spare tire area.

I have a 1963 bus whose OG tire was 6.40-15.
In my case I chose to run stock tires all around and my spare fits perfectly.
