Most likely getting non-runflat tires next time

On my 09 MCS Hatch, I bought the donut spare that came with the Justa's and switched to non-runflats. I just kept the donut spare behind the passenger seat since nobody was ever back there anyway. I knew it would only fit on the rear wheels so if a front tire blew that I would have to move a rear tire up and put the spare on the rear.

Does anyone know if that factory donut wheel and tire will fit on a CM All4? I have the 17" Anthracites. I don't mind moving tires around like before on my MCS hatch. I just hate the idea of getting runflats again as they cost so much more. I just got a nail in one of my factory tires and had to buy a new one. If it was a regular tire, I could've patched it and been done. It only had 4000 miles on it! Luckily the Pirelli's were on sale at Tirerack.com for $109.00 each and Discount tire honored that price. Still, they would normally be much more.

I could swear I had seen that someone on here put snowtires on some wheels that are only offered on non-countryman models so I figured it would fit.

Anyone know?

The MCS spare won't fit the CMS, because the CMS is a 5 bolt wheel. However, Outmotoring has a compact Countryman spare.

For my winter setup (which is non RFT) I bought a slime kit @ Manny,Mo & Jack that has a compressor, plus I have AAA.

Thanks! I'll just order the spare from them!

That's the one I saw on here.... Do those tires ever rub against the wells over bumps or potholes? They look like they can tear up some snow and mud....
