Over the weekend I somehow picked up 2 nails in the right rear tire. I went to my local tire ship and they repaired the tire. I asked them how easy it would be to get a replacement tire in case where the tire was damaged before repair. (I have the Goodyear Touring 255/50R21). I was surprised to hear that the tires are on back order and not available.

They told me that potentially I would have to replace all 4 of them with a set from a different manufacturer. With the car having no spare I am concerned if a tire goes, when I am on a trip away from home.

I ordered a modern spare ture kit, and bought a tire repair kit as well

I will carry the spare in the IX even in the city, last week i had rhe right rear blow up and it took the bmw roadside tow truck 2 1/2 hours to get to me

Heres 2 brand new bridgestones for 323.99

Look through these.
As long as the size is the same any tire will do.
One pair per axle if you are worried about handling exactly the same.
