what to do for a spare tire

NJANDY · 04-26-2011, 06:41 AM

I just had a tire get sliced up and am thinking about going without run flats. What are people doing about a spare or doughnut?

Thanks

I carry one of these in my car + a little electric pump: http://www.northerntool.com/images/p.../134783_lg.jpg

But if the sidewall goes, I would pretty much be SOL. One of these days I will just buy that spare tire kit on getbmwparts.

See the sticky on the spare tire source. Basically tischer sells the whole shebang for approx $300

Here's a link to the E60 kit, which has been very popular amongst the E9X 3 Series crowd here on the forums.

Or you can save yourself a couple hundred bucks and get one of these:

Looks nice. questions if you don't mind;
1. what's included other than the obvious; the tire!
2. would it fit in the e92 trunk
3. does it rattle on over holes or bumps
4. is the net included
5. how much

Thank you

Same with my 128i 'vert which we use for extended road trips. So I throw an inexpensive Slime 12 v Compressor and DynaPlug kit in the trunk, just as touring motorcyclists have done for years.
