Most trusted spare wheel among MINI users
I'm going to get a compact spare wheel+tire...

What is the most trusted compact spare among the MINI users? or are they all the same?

Are there others better than these two worse mentioning?

Take a look at what Detroit Tuned has. I think they are the same spec but a bit less expensive.

What do you plan to do with the flat if you ever have to use it and have a passenger with you?


Oh, I should have been specific. I have a R59. Not much room behind the seats

Keep a large clean plastic garbage bag and some ties or tape in the boot, then use them to cover the dirty flat tire before putting it in your MINI.
