Space-Saver Emergency Spare Tire with a heavy duty Storage / Carrying Case!

COMPACT EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE - Factory unit

If you switched from run-flat tires to standard tires, here is the spare designed for your MINI. Beware of 'similar' space-saver tires from other brands since the hub diameter is most likely the wrong size. If you are shopping at some junk yards for other brands, consider the 'age' of the tire - do you really want a 5+ years old tire as your primary backup??

This 'space saver tire' set-up uses the factory spare wheel with a brand new tire for guaranteed fitment.

Fits the following models on the front or rear:

2002-2006 R50 MINI Cooper and R53 MINI Cooper S with standard brakes.
2005-2008 R52 MINI Convertibles with standard brakes.
2007-2013 R56 MINI Cooper Hatchback (non-S)
2008-2014 R55 MINI Cooper Clubman (non-S)
2009-2015 R57 MINI Cooper Convertible (non-S)
2012-2015 R58 MINI Cooper Coupe  (non-S)
2012-2015 R59 MINI Cooper Roadster (non-S)

Fits the following models on the rear only - if you have a flat in the front, you need to install the spare on the rear and move a good tire to the front:

2002-2006 R50 MINI Cooper and R53 MINI Cooper S with JCW Sport Brakes.
2005-2008 R52 MINI Convertibles with JCW Sport Brakes.
2007-2013 R56 MINI Cooper S Hatchback
2008-2014 R55 MINI Cooper S Clubman
2009-2015 R57 MINI Cooper S Convertible
2012-2015 R58 MINI Cooper S Coupe
2012-2015 R59 MINI Cooper S Roadster

Not compatible with 2007+ 2nd Generation JCW Models.

Yes, you can buy the wheel from the dealer, tire from a tire shop (if you can find one) and get it mounted and balanced - but why bother, we did all the work for you! Mounted, balanced, and ready-to-use. Tire brand will vary depending on supply.

This is the same 'spare' offered by the factory as an option for your Cooper Hatchback, Convertible, and Clubman. Fits in the Clubman rear floor compartment. For the retainer and bolt to secure the spare in your Clubman, see NMW7609.

If your MINI has the Limited Slip option, install the spare tire on the rear.

Remember, this is a 'temporary' spare tire to get you directly home or directly to the nearest tire repair center. Get your flat fixed and back on your car AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If you have the Limited Slip Differential option on your MINI, put the compact spare on the rear.

If your MINI did not come with tools to change a tire, see NMA7688.

COMPACT SPARE TIRE STORAGE BAG / CARRYING CASE

Heavy Duty storage and carrying bag for our NMW7610 Compact Emergency Spare Tire. No need to have a bare tire sitting in your boot! This cover is not only an aesthetic improvement, but also doubles as a carrying case.

The heavy duty zipper opens 3/4 of the bag so you can 'roll' the tire into the bag - save your back from having to lift the spare into the bag. Designed with just enough room to easily fit the tire in the bag, without having to struggle to fit it in.

Heavy duty material is water resistant, protecting your interior. A convenient exterior pocket provides storage space for tools, gloves or emergency road flares.

NOTE: From the MINI owners manual:

Driving with the space-saver tire

Drive cautiously. Do not exceed a speed of 50mph/80kph.

You must expect changes in vehicle handling such as lower track stability during braking, longer braking distances and changes in self-steering properties when close to the handling limit. These effects are more pronounced when driving with winter tires.

Only one space-saver tire may be mounted at one time. Reinstall a wheel and tire of the original size as soon as possible.

Check the tire inflation pressure at the earliest opportunity and correct it if necessary. Replace the defective tire as soon as possible and have the new wheel/tire assembly balanced.

Question:
I have a 2004 MINI Cooper S. I no longer have run-flats on the car. The car does not come with a spare. I have 17 in. tires on the car. Do you have a spare donut tire that fits a 17 in? If there is a flat tire on the front, is it correct that I must remove a back tire, place it on the front and replace the removed rear tire with the donut?
Answer:
The NMW7610 is the correct spare for your 2004 Cooper S. (or NMK7610 with the storage bag) No matter what size your tires are, this compact spare uses a smaller wheel and taller tire to maintain the correct Overall Diameter of 21.4"

For all front-wheel-drive cars, using a spare on the front is not recommended (and in some states not legal for road use) but in the case of the Cooper S the larger brakes they just won't fit... so you must use a good rear tire up front and mount the spare to the rear.

Question:
I have a GP2 (2013 New MINI Cooper JCW GP). Will your space-saver spare tire fit over the rear wheel calipers?
Answer:
I will have to say no since the rear calipers on the GP are specific to JCW models and are larger than the Cooper S. This is true even while the rotor size is the same as the Cooper S.
If you add a spacer and some longer lug bolts, you may be able to get it to work, but we don't have information on what size spacer you will need.

Question:
I need to purchase a doughnut tire with a carrying bag for 2005 New MINI Cooper S. Need to know the type of tire I need.
Answer:

Please see part number NMK7610 this is the spare for your 2005 MINI Cooper S. Please note that if your 2005 MINI S has the JCW upgrade brakes, this spare will only fit the rear.
