Do all MINI Coopers come with a spare or just those with 15" wheels?

If you opt or are forced to have the 16"ers on the MC do they still include the space saver spare? Would like to switch to radials if I have a spare.

All Coopers (non-S) include a spare tire (at least here in the US). This is true even if you order optional 16", 17", or 18" wheels.

All MINIS in the USA get runflats. MC and MCc get the donut spares even though we have runflats. MCS and MCSc do not get spares what so ever.

This is incorrect. The 15" tires are non-runflats (thankfully!).

Well my MINI is coming with 195/55 R16 run-flats on the Bridge-spokes. I'll be pulling them day one for radials. Is there any demand for run-flats? Could I sell some (5) mile ones for ~$200ish?

2nd that all 15"ers are radials.

Some people like the run flats. I bet they'd sell quick for $200
