no spare for my mini

I just bought a new Mini S, that originally had run flats, but now has regular tires. I do not have a spare. Any suggestions. Could I just carry around a can or two of flat repair??

Or should I try to buy a compact spare, though I don't know where I would put it??

Email me, alecmc360@yahoo.com

don't use flat fixer. you will ruin your runflats and you wont be able to patch them. either buy a spare or use the runflats as intended. if you are too far from a place that can fix your runflat, that's what your MINI Roadside Assistance is for.

MODERATOR: please move this post to the right forum.

Many people no longer use runflats on their MCS. Most either carry fix-a-flat or a small compressor like this
