Cooper spare tire size

Anyone carry spare tire from cooper and use regular tire instead runflat?
What's the size of spare tire? Is it 125/70/15?
I got spare tire from honda civic but wonder it's same size.

Thanks for that manual pdf.
Hmm....then does 125 tire will fit to 115?
You know just trying to save spare tire price, it's very expensive from dealer.

I would think that would be close enough. I got a spare wheel from MINI and mounted the 115 tire from my girlfriend's unused Mazda MX3.
