    I drive in a RIDICULOUSLY pot-holed area ... avoidance is my first line of defense. One of these days I am gonig to lose. I have low profile tires/550 wheels on my 456 (they are interchangeable), plus I think I have just enough space (under the trunk hatch) for a "typical" small bicycle tire - has anyone found one that can work wihtout killing the car's alignemnt (if used for 20/30 miles)?

    Much appreciated!

    For the 550 the factory does offer a spare tire option. More accurately a mini/emergency spare 125/80 R17. They are designated for "Temporary Use Only" or in other words, go directly to the nearest repair facility. Or better yet can you say, flatbed.
