Do you get a spare wheel with the 19" 172Ms optional extra? I'm guessing no, as the front and back tyres are different sizes but what do you get instead? Not so much of an issue with run flats but with non-run flats, isn't that a big problem?
Even if you get a tyre weld kit, surely that can't help for any deep cuts or gashes?

The spare tire has the same circumference as any OEM tire.
The idea with the driving pleasure spoiling RF's is, that you don't need a spare.
My choice is this (note the gloves)
