I am curious. If I order the sport pkg on the 550 it supposedly comes with run flat tires. Do you also get a spacesaver spare? If not what do they put in the spare tire space?

But if you get the spare, it's good to have when you change to non RF's

In the US, the sport package includes a spare tire. I don't think other countries get this.

If you're in the USA then yes you do get a donut spare.

I got a spare and a jack. If you get a flat somewhere where you can't readily get a replacement you might need it.

You get a spare but no jack.
Are you serious. Why would they do that. They should save the money on the spare if they arent going to put in a jack. Not logical.
