Spare Tire Kit

Has anyone come across a decent spare tire kit for a reasonable price? My apologies if this has been previously addressed, but my attempt at a search of this forum turned up nothing.

Short of buying an extra wheel/tire that matches your fronts you can get something like this
https://modernspare.com/product/2022...e-kit-options/

Of course, both eat up your trunk space, the first by quite a lot.

My own experience is that kits are pretty useless and it’s less hassle just to call for recovery if you can’t limp to a nearby fitter.

I have this ModernSpare kit. Yes, takes space ion the trunk but I hardly bought the car for the vast trunk space. If I need to fit big items in the trunk I just reposition the tire (very rarely). Usually everything fits. So far haven't had to use it. (I had a similar setup on F22 and on that car I used the spare twice).

Thanks very much for the link. I hadn't heard of that company before.
