I cannot tell you definitively if the taxi tyre will fit in the spare wheel tray, but I would be very careful as it is pretty skinny. I recently bought 4 x 550HR16 Michelin X and 1 x 165HR16 Avon Turbosteel for my 401. The former did not fit in the tray but the latter did (which is why I bought one). The Avon is distinctly thinner than the Michelin. I think that we have used tubes.

I bought my tyres from Longstone Tyres and they were very helpful allowing me to try the tyres for size before buying them.

Unfortunately I cannot report how they drive as my Bristol is still off the road.
