Spare Tire - Has anyone bought one?

Has anyone out there purchased a spare tire for their Smart? A spare just to be used in emergencies?

I have a long daily commute and am petrifed of blowing a tire and then having to be towed to a local shop to get a repair before I can be back on my way.

If you have purchased a spare (baby donut tire) where did you get it and what was the size?

Is there a good place to store it in the car?

Any help would be truly appreciated?

Are your tires still available?

I have two Passion front wheels with tires for sale if anybody is interested. They have around 5000 miles worth of wear on them, but look pretty much brand new.

If anybody is interested, make a reasonable offer.

Thanks!

I have a 2010 Pure .... steel wheels. Will your wheels and tire fit the 2010 Pure. Got any pics?

The wheels will fit a pure, but I only have the front wheels and tires. It will be a mismatch if you want all the rims and tires to match. you need to find rear wheels and tires also.

I am looking for a spare. I am a veteran and on ss, so I have limited funds. Do you have a price in mind?
