Is anyone aware of a space-saver spare tire that will fit on the Cooper S?

I'd like to get rid of the harsh-riding run-flats, but don't wish to get stranded.

I had the "fix-a-flat inflator" on my M Roadster and it threw up in the trunk one very warm day. That latex does not clean up easily!

I'd consider either an inflatable spare (think Camaro/Firebird), or the "bicycle tire" type narrow spare found in many current cars.

Anybody been to the junkyard (oops... recycled auto parts emporium) to see what might fit ?

Thanks, Mike

 

there's another thread on this somewhere, search for it. The gist of the thread was that no one has found a place to locate the spare. Even with a single side exhaust such as the Quicksilver, the battery box is still in the way.

 

First, 200mph, welcome to MINI Cooper Online. :smile:

Here is the other thread.

I'm going to lock this to focus the discussion in the original thread.
