Default Spare tire and car cover needed

I just purchased a 2011 Cooper S Convertible for my wife. She is not the best at keeping her vehicles clean. Looking for a decent cover that doesn't cost $200 or more. And what about the car having no spare tire, Dealer says there is no room for one, due to the dual exhaust? The car has 17" Bridgestone RFT's. What does she need to know about the RFT's if and when she does get a flat?

RFT's give a yellow warning light , when the light comes on pull into a gas station and check tire pressure if it's a pound or two off reinflate and reset it ... If it's flat you can drive 50 miles at around 50mph This can damage the tire and some can be repaired
