Another Spare Tire Question.

[RLE55]

I am very tempted too, but the cost is a little over the top and shipping to me (Canada) is insane...

Yea, $500 for complete kit is steep....and more so for Canadians.

Converted in Canadian dollars with shipping it's 900$ and i'm sure they'll add taxes before it delivers... so we'll make it an even 1000$... for a spare....

I wish someone would come up with a cheaper alternative like the spare from another car and just have to swap the tire or something creative. I tried looking but it's not turning much results.

Maybe Ford Parts will see all the concerns with us mustang owners and come out with a spare that'll fit the PP's and make it more affordable.....

I would love that, but I'm not holding my breath on Ford doing that...

Crazy. In Canada the spare mini wheel add on is $200 CDN$. So about $135 USD

In Dubai (Middle East version)
We get a full size spare, eats up most of the trunk.

Sheesh! That's crazy. Yeah what's the point of a trunk with that thing in there!

In my opinion, it’s fine for a side car that i don’t use for shopping or family trips, plus it’s worth having as a spare rim in case of them gets screwed…

While that is cool, how does that work with the staggered setup? I'm thinking it's a 255 so that it can still fit in the front wheel wells?

Good question, i’ll check if its 255 or 275 and get back to you.

It is indeed 255/40R19, below a close up picture.

I'm assuming Ford used the inflator kit crap to keep car weight down?? So easy to remove tire if you plan to track it or other..

Yeah the inflator kit is included as well.
Should definitely be removed for a track day. But I am planning to keep the spare there for everyday rides, never know what you run into on long trips…
