I have the E0 "16s on there now-I was thinking of getting a spare "15 or something. I would imagine a spare "16 wouldn't be cost effective. I haven't had to drive with the spare yet (knock on wood), I was just using it to prop up the car while I rotated the tires (I don't have jackstands or anything).
My wife's Cherokee came with a full size spare and a matching alloy wheel. It's good and bad, because you end up just throwing the "spare" on there, and it becomes a normal tire, while you procrastinate about fixing the flat one (that's actually going on now). With the Contour, it will just be a temporary spare, but something a bit more substantial than the freakin' tricycle wheel that's in the trunk now.
Looks like I'm headed to the salvage yard. Thanks guys!
