That's incredible in price change! I'll hang on to my AAA and since I don't ever plan on autocrossing or drag racing, I don't have a need to take the spare or jack out. Thanks for looking into it, in case someone may want to go that route!

Glad I checked into this BEFORE I decide to go off roading or haphazardly running over TX-size potholes around town!
Forget Run Flats! I certainly didn't expect our stock tires to be THAT Expensive!
I'm use to paying $133 per tire on the "highend" of my wallet-scale just a year ago..
Has there been some kind of global shortage on rubber (recently)? Why are stock tires so expensive?
And, yeah I won't be getting run flats anytime soon!
Those folks who bought MINI Cooper S (they can't carry a spare) are screwed.. They ONLY come with run flats.

Hmmm, THAT I don't know. I've never even considered a donut to be one-time use only... But, I wouldn't be surprised these days if that's how they made it.
*************
I had thought to get some cheap spares ($10 a rim(s)* @ salvage yard) to use for snow/ice conditions. Now if they aren't designed to safely re-mount new tires, that would nix that idea.
*Since 16" tires are so cheap. $63/per in Goodyears.

Well, I just checked out the price for tires in the rear for my new set of wheels, and at least it's still not as much as a run flat at about $317/ea.
