compact or space saver spare for F10?

I know there is no recess. I know at least in the US, nothing is available.

Anyone know of something that would fit?
Another manufacturer's spare?
Have to think in some markets (less developed parts of the world) it would be needed but maybe not.

Would love to ditch the RFT and still have the security of a spare without having to loose the space of a full size tire.

I know mobility kit (slime and compressor) with a plug kit is probably sufficient.

Thanks

No spare is availiable, at least in the US market. (Unless you want to carry one in your trunk) Only option is to use a mobility kit.

I'm fine with carrying it in the trunk, just not a full size tire.

I've emailed Vredestein about their SpaceMaster series and Continental in Germany about their compact spares. Actually not very hopeful but thought I'd give it a try.

Heard back from both Continental and Vredestein, seems they manufacture compact and spacesaver spares for manufacturers. They do not sell to end users, just manufacturers. Nothing for the F10.
