Daughter just bought the car.
I drive a lot and am a bit paranoid...have lots of repair/fix stuff in all the cars. My latest car came with no spare (but 'run flats'). So I put a compressor, better quality plug kit, breaker bar, good lug socket, etc. Saw the Modern Spare kit for my car, but it seemed very pricy. But...a donut by my car maker (BMW) was almost the same price. Wound up with one from an Audi for $100 locally as it's the same lug pattern, diameter, and fits well. Got a much better jack and dedicated lug socket/wrench/breaker bar for about $165 out of pocket. Since I drive a lot (200+ miles on some weekends), I didn't want to rely on the run flats.
Now I'm in the same position with her car. The Modern Spare is nice, but pricy. Just wondering if anyone knows the lug pattern, wheel and tire size of a donut spare that fits. (OEM setup is 19" wheels / 235/50r-19 tires).
Thanks!
