I can't remember who posted the thread about making your own Mini spare, but I followed the instructions and for @ $100 I have a mini Mini spare (including a scissors jack and lug wrench)!!! Much better than the $250 the dealer wanted. AND I've gotten rid of those noisy runflats! Better ride, much less noise and can be replaced anywhere. Life is good. Now to go out and rub some rubber off those suckers.
