Has anyone had any luck finding a reasonably priced donut tire for a 2016 Cadillac CTS.I am not comfortable driving around with non run flat tires and a only a pump and a can of fix a flat in the trunk.One blowout could become a disaster.I saw one made by a company called modern spare but $450 is a bit ridiculous.

does the "well" accommodate a full-size or a mini spare? a steel rim is easy to source - the stupid smaller doughnut is stupid expensive and oddly hard to get (ask me how i know)

I purchased a 17" CTS rim on eBay for $80 and mounted the best remaining run flat from my original set. I added two lanyards on the sides of the trunk to anchor the spare with a bungee. Added a good scissors jack and any thing I could think of to change a tire which fit in the foam well under the trunk floor. Still have room for stuff.

Check out EZ Spare or Wolf Auto. I bought a spare from Wolf for my RS6 Avant and they had great service

There were a few for sale on the classifieds section of this forum. This is a well worn topic, many posts if you care to search. I fit my Modernspare in the well but some tricks needed. Pictures in other posts.
