This may be a stupid question but what about taking one of the winter tires that I have on rims as a spare?

The large frunk is the only thing that was better in my classic versus my s90d.In my 3 1/2 year old model S, I have had 4 flats! I carry a full size wheel and tire in the frunk.
Where are you putting it?The large frunk is the only thing that was better in my classic versus my s90d.
I am getting a spare tire and plan to bring it on my long cross country trips.
when I have to bring it along it will have to go in the rear.Where are you putting it?

I did buy the tire repair kit from Tesla during my last maintenance visit. Drove it for a year before I realized there was nothing for a flat included with the car, it was only while looking for the Jack that I realized it.
There's lots of threads on this but people who have tried them didn't like them because a) bad tire wear b) noise c) weight d) co$t.Yep, agreed. I'm probably gonna get flamed to hell by saying that I think Tesla should've provided us with run-flat tires (contrary to a lot of others, I actually had a great experience with the latest generation RFTs on a 2013 model year BMW)... and I don't even want a full size spare in the car. Even the Audi Q5 comes with a can of slime and dinky inflator and a card for the roadside assistance number.
My plan is for small manageable leaks I'll at least be able to use the inflator and get to a tire shop on my own accord, and I'll use the slime as a last resort. For anything more dramatic, then that's what roadside assistance is for!
I have run flats on my BMW. I got a puncture in one from a large screw and no tire shop would plug a run flat or had a replacement. I could only get one at BMW. Fortunately they are very reasonable on price. I agree they are hard riding and noisy.There's lots of threads on this but people who have tried them didn't like them because a) bad tire wear b) noise c) weight d) co$t.

I assume you mean the non-refresh "D" frunk right? Can you find and post the link?Good idea ... there is another thread about using a compact BMW spare tire that fits in the Frunk.
