GBMINI gets cool spare tire, courtesy of Jerseygirl

Today I received my custom “skinny spare tire travel bag” from Robyn (“jerseygirl” on MINI2 and NorthAmericanMotoring):
GBMINI spare tire
At the moment it is on the back seat, since the “saddlebag” add-on I have in the trunk has reduced the height there so that the tire will not fit. I guess the saddlebag might need to come out!
Thanks, Robyn - it looks very cool … Now I owe you an auto-up windows circuit!

    So where did you get your spare tire from? I have a 2002 Cooper S & I’m switching from runflats to non-runflats and would like to have spare tire to carry around on long trips.

    The spare tire I have is the standard “skinny” spare that comes with the MINI Cooper - you can buy it from any MINI dealership. Don’t know the price, but not cheap - $130 maybe?

    I’m switching from run flats as well on my 2004 S. The idea of having a few cans of Fix-A-Flat doesn’t give me a lot of comfort on a dark night. This seems like a great idea. Where did you get the spare and (of course) how much?

    The spare tire is from any MINI dealership - it is the standard spare for the non-S MINI Cooper.

    Don’t know the price; guessing about $130.
