Whoever at BMW decided spare tires were no longer needed (why when we gave you garbage noisy hard-riding expensive runflats?) should be stranded on the Autobahn in freezing rain waiting for a tow after a run-flat shreds itself.

My F30 came with horrible runflats that I replaced with lighter staggered rims and Michelin PS4s a few years later. Totally transformed the handling for the better. I had a runflat go out prior and the cost to replace it was quite shocking.

But my "spare" in that car is an inflater/sealer kit now, plus a handy booket with prayers to Gummi, goddess of rubber things.

So thanks for reminding me to check the spare in the X.
