Where is the spare tire in the MC?

Still contemplating buying a Mini. Just figured out (I think) that the MC comes with a mini spare tire and the MCS does not. WHERE is that spare tire stored in the MC??

On the MCS, they needed room in the engine compartment for the supercharger and intercooler, so the moved the battery to the back. But in order to do that, they dropped the spare tire. And to compensate for that, they gave us run-flat tires, which most people immediately swap out for normal tires.
