Like this? Except maybe with a solid cover over it?

Maybe the entire rear skirt could be replaced with a spare tire receptical molded into it, along with some more attractive lines.

my wife's 2016 RS Camaro doesn't come with a spare tire .... rather they install run flat tires .... I sure hate the thought of eventually having to replace them

Ru=Howling with laughter here.
JE=My Gerard has run flats (Mini Cooper S) My daughter named the car ;)

Mount it just aft of the cockpit, put a dome on it, use appropriate paint scheme, and you have yourself a Naboo Starfighter, complete with its own droid.

We don't need no stinkin fix-a-flat or spares, guess who ?
I read a little bit about run flat tires. Do not like some of the cons.

I decided to ask ELIO about Contiseal. It's in the mail.

Since our beloved ELIO's will not be carrying a spare, I thought I would ask about Contiseal. http://www.continental-tires.com/car/technology/extended-mobility-main/contiseal Thank You

That reminds me. Does anyone know if the Elio will have an aux power outlet (formerly known as the cigarette lighter plug)?
