Default Mercedes Space Saver Spare Tire

Our 04 Crossfire got totaled a couple years back, unfortunately.
I just discovered that we still have the space saver spare tire.
It came from an SLK, and I don't think it has ever been used.
We carried it with us in the rear hatch when we made road trips.
The tire is a Yokohama, and the size is T125/70D16 96M.
Is anyone in the Atlanta or North Georgia area interested in this?
I'll make you a good deal on it...

I am curious if you had to also carry different length lug bolts since it is a steel wheel? James

If I EVER catch someone carrying a spare tire on one of my DRAGON runs, I'm gonna leave 'em behind!
SPARE TIRES are for SISSYS. Ya don't need one. :NoNo:

I'd contend that most flat tires cannot be sealed with the slime injection.
I liked the extra piece of mind knowing I could get the car moving again.
It stowed nicely in the hatch area. I had it strapped in against one side.

That was pretty much my thought exactly...
I guess he would call and wait for a tow truck to come and rescue him.
And if that happens, all the other drivers will likely leave HIM behind..!

I have had a Crossfire for nearly 14 years, I have had two flats, one tire was ruined and the other was able to be plugged. I found both flats with the car in the garage. I joined the CAA for just such occurrences on the road. I would never use the Ghost Busters tire sealant found in the trunk, I tossed mine and got a tire puncture plug kit.

I don't know about the steel wheel spare shown above. I have the version shown below in both coupes. It fits both front and back.

Use this on e-bay search. I believe it should fit.

Hey guys, my apologies for not checking back in for so long (tough year).
It turns out that the spare tire I posted was actually not the correct one.
My son took that one, but I actually still have the one from our Crossfire.
Sorry for the confusion. Here are some pictures of the Mercedes spare.
If possible, I'd prefer a buyer local to Atlanta or North Georgia.

Mark R. -

I just purchased the same spare tire that you are selling. I purchased it on ebay since I am in MI, far from GA. This spare fits fine on the rear of my SRT, but not on the front. On the front, the brake caliper interferes with the spare's wheel. I am not sure if the caliper is different on the SRT, or not. I was more concerned about the rear. It turns out that the front was the issue.

Just a heads up for those that are considering purchasing a spare.

The original longer bolts worked fine (on the rear).
