And the weight saving excuse of not lugging around a spare tire goes out the window when you consider that the factory 19\" with RFT weigh in at a whopping 69lbs! Compared to the 18\" with standard tires I just put on for the winter that are 52lbs. So that\'s 68 lbs of unsprung weight that I\'m lugging around instead of a spare tire? Um, I\'d rather have the spare please.

I have a 2006 BMW X3 and it has a spare tire underneath the rear. next to the muffler. so maybe some don't and other do? I have the premium package
