I have been following this thread as I am a little apprehensive regarding the runflats which will be on the Cooper S I should be taking delivery of very soon.

However, I feel very reassured by the comments made. In the UK a distance of 90 miles should in most places get you to a MINI dealer, and 300 miles will definitely get you there.

I'm not now as concerned about not having a spare, so thanks guys.
