I am trading my 04 MC for an 06 MCS, which is awaiting transport. The MCS will have 17" all season runflats, which I plan to remove for the winter, as I have purchased 17" Pirelli Winter Snowsports, non-runflat. So...I know this has been discussed here before, but I am really in need of a donut spare tire and wheel that I can keep somewhere in the car. Can anyone help me out with this? Also, I am selling the snow tires that I had for the MC, which are Dunlop SP Winter Sport M2, size 175/65/15. Excellent condition, only used 3 months last year. A great tire in the snow. Any help with either of these issues would be greatly appreciated. :smile:

 

The best deal I found was to go to Classic MINI for the wheel and Tire Rack for the tire - $124 for both.

 

What size tire and wheel would I specify?

Rick,

Thank you so much! I called both places and it looks like this will work out for me. My dealer wanted 160.00 for the tire and 51.00 for the wheel, plus tax, plus mounting and balancing, we're talking around $250.00!
Obviously this is a much better deal. Thanks again!

 

Be sure to ask for the North American Motoring discount.

 

I bought a donut wheel from Towson Mini for approx $38.00, I then went to
the local Ford dealer to get a price on a 15" donut tire off a Ford Tarus. They
just happened to have a mounted tire 125 70R 15 that they were going
to junk(tire was brand new), I paid $30 for the tire and wheel, had it mounted to the MINI wheel and then sold the Ford wheel for $10.00.
