Default Re: Donut Spare Tire for Crossfire

To Whomever might Care:

I am coming back to this topic, worthwhile to me for long distance, out of the way trips (as, to the Tail of the Dragon? Or deep in the Rockies? Even out in the Ozarks?).

There seems to be a folding spare used on the SLK 350 (R171) on a 17 inch wheel which just MIGHT work on all Crossfires. Including SRT versions, with larger brakes.

Does anyone watching this happen to know? Was that temp spare from the (assumed) SL 500 necessary, or might the 17 inch folding spare for the next generation R171 SLK 350 be the right thing?

With that, it seems that the NA Crossfire could be good with the 15 inch folding spare used on SLK 280 and SLK 320 (or R170) cars.

What do you know? What do you think?
