I swapped the run flats on my misses cooper s for some toyo t1r's in 204/40/17 size.
Much cheaper, much better handling and much much much better ride!

Call the AA? Phone a friend?
I have no spare in my M3 and the misses has no spare in the Mini (obviously!). Touch wood, we haven't had a problem yet! The money you save by not buying run flats would more than cover another tyre if she were to get a puncture!
