16" SPACE SAVER SPARE WHEEL AND TOOL KIT COMPATIBLE WITH 1 SERIES (2004-2019)

Product Information

Space-saver spare tyres are also usually limited to a maximum speed of 50mph (80 km/h) and a maximum distance of about 50 miles, so it limits your options for getting to a suitable tyre shop. Your steering and braking performance will also be affected, so it’s very much a temporary solution.

One common problem with a space-saver spare wheel is that if you ever need to use it, the original full-size wheel and flat tyre won’t fit in the spare wheel well, so you have to carry it in the boot – which, of course, is no good if you already have a bootful of luggage or a very small boot. By replacing the full-size wheel with a space-saver spare wheel, costs go down and weight is saved. If you have a ‘breakdown kit’ of goo and compressor, the weight, space and cost savings are even greater.Tyremen also offer alloy wheels in 17″ which can be customised with a number of tyre options, the full range of Continental, Vredestein & Yokohama and are available for 2014/15 in the runflat option.

The 3 Series has run-flat tires that are designed to last up to 150 miles after they go flat, just like the majority of BMW cars and SUVs. According to BMW, run-flat tires do away with the requirement for a spare. Although the run-flats have made it possible for them to pull over safely, several BMW owners report that they have had trouble locating a replacement tire at a tire shop the same day.
