We have a brand new space saver spare that we no longer need.
We carried it with us in the rear hatch when we made road trips.
But unfortunately, our 04 Crossfire got totaled a while back.
The spare came from a Mercedes SLK, and it has never been used.
It fits on the front and rear of standard Crossfires. Not sure about SRT's.
Brand new. Has never been inflated, and has never touched the road.
Anyone interested? Let me know. I'll make you a nice deal.

Interesting. Here are the tire diameters in play:
25.1" for the 165/70-16 emergency spare
25.1" for a Crossfire 225/40-18 front tire
26" for a Crossfire 255/35-19 rear tire

Although this emergency spare has a decal saying "max 50mph" the tire itself has a 'P' speed rating, which means the tire itself is rated for continuous travel at up to 93mph.

I once saw someone who had emergency spares mounted on all 4 wheels. It was a unique look to be sure, so he accomplished his goal of standing out!!

 

I think part of the Max50mph is to keep the spider gears from spinning out of the diff if it were to be used on the rear.

 

This will fit flat in the trunk of a roadster with the top down!

 

I bought on on Ebay a few years ago. They are not expensive.

 

Are you asking this or have tried it? I have a roadster and stumbled on this thread and am now curious. If it can slide under that small gap with the door we need in place to lower the top, this could be on my shopping list. Right now I just have a tool kit and jumper cables hidden under it. Not much height for anything else.

I'd also be curious if anyone gets one of these to see pics installed. I know it's emergencies, but just isn't sitting in my head right now that it would keep the car from scraping being several inches smaller than stock. But then, I've usually not used the donut in other cars or had a full size spare.

 

This spare expands (becomes larger in diameter) when you fill it with air.

 

So this type of tire you store without air? You use the car pump then to expand it when needed? Versus the others I've had holding their high pressure and stored full?

 

Yes. Several of the MB spares are done this way.

 

Thanks, didn't realize that. Definitely adding to my list if I can stash it under the roadster lid. Maybe make a small box to conceal it and whatever tools I have stashed there then too. I may need to get a smaller toolkit though. :-)

 

Yes... i carry one... im trying to figure out how to attach a pic...

 

Thanks for posting the photograph of the spare fitting in the small space of the convertible trunk. I had to see it to believe it.

 

I was going to purchase a spare to take on longer trips, but couldn't figure out what I would do with the flat.....My only option would be to leave my passenger on the side of the road and carry my flat in her seat.....

 

JBRDH, is there a reason that you have a set of lug bolts already in the spare/temporary wheel? Are they a different length than the lug bolts in the OE wheels?
