spare tire

i have run flat tires on my 2011 Clubman.
i am not thrilled with them. they r very noisy.
took a drive last week from Los Angeles to Zion nat'l Park. 2 hours south of Vegas one of the front tires blew out. looks like it has a ply separation let go.
the tires did what they r supposed to do. i was able to drive a few miles to get off I-15 and wait for AAA. in Vegas, the tire shop only had RF's in my size, so i bent over and even supplied the vaseline. the rest of the drive was fine.
next time i intend to get away from the RF's.
so where do i find a spare tire?
looks like a donut will fit in the resess under my cargo area.

I have the above spare tire and foam tray from the folks a WMW. Fits perfectly. Ditch those run-flats.

There is a different foam tray that works when you are filling the bottom of the cavity with the donut spare tire. Way Motor Works also sells the tray. Not sure if the original tray will even fit anymore.

I will post pics in a bit.

Here you go, from the top of the rear cargo area down, layer by layer.

Flat floor in place with mat



Flat floor removed, rubber cargo mat in place



Photo flipped somehow, foam insert with all tools. I prefer a nice long breaker bar with a high quality non-marring socket



spare tire with hold down **** in place



foam insert removed to show thickness



My tire changing extras. Nice long 1/2 breaker bar, non-marring deep well socket, tire mounting rod to hang wheel and 2 extra lug bolts
