My new Michelin sport a/s3 was flat on the driver rear side... I was like WTF - new tires!?

Well the good news - my tire was good, the bad news...



Found a guy that will come to my house and fix the crack for $125

Here is where the Chris Harris reference comes from:

What spare are you using?

Toadster

the one that's stored in my trunk

Mine never came with one.. I know like 3 others that didn't come with a spare

Toadster

yes, my car is a rare bird as an '05 with a spare

Pjnash

my 05 has a spare but it looks way different...

Toadster

yah, I thought mine looked like it fell off a tuned Subaru STi or something

Toadster

Mucho better

My 2005 E55 has the Data Card code 669 "SPARE WHEEL / FOLDING WHEEL", but was missing the wheel/tire and air compressor when I bought it. (But I have seen another E55 that had it and the air compressor.)

The EPC says my spare is:
A 211 400 31 95
Disk Wheel & Tire Assy, Spare Wheel 6B x 18 H2 ET 25

Todd's is the style that does not need an air compressor, and some like to use as drag front wheels. I'd like to find one as a spare so I can stop carrying one of my front winter/summer tires (which is a bit too wide/tall to fit under the trunk floor).

Todd, please list your Data Card code for your style spare and skinny tire, and the EPC part number/description(s).

Thanks!
