Does anybody know if there is available a "mini spare tire/ wheel combo for the 453? I'm really not comfortable driving without a proper spare but I'm quite aware of space constraints in vehicle. Really appreciate any help.

There was old member Barney O, was a very talented machinist. He took a motor scooter tire and wheel Turned it into a very thin spare tire. For the smart car, to fit behind the seat. He had some photo’s of it posted here. A lot of the older members here, wanted To buy one from him. Including me.

He wouldn’t offer them, because of concerns of safety issues.

Can anyone find the photo of them under Barney O?
