spare tire for the '03 SL55 -fill the empty hole
Anyone tried getting a collapsible spare (225 or so/50/18) to use as a spare for the older R230? I had the 'blow up' bottle on my M Roadster.. and never felt comfortable without a spare.
Seems a collapsible spare should work .. the SL500s have them.

It could be used for a spare but if you have a front flat you have to put the spare on the rear and move the good rear to the front. A lot of work but doable.
I prefer to hold out for an 18 inch collapsible / inflatable MB spare such as on the R350.
