Spare Tire Option

[Cobrakit]

The Automotive Authority spare is not a donut spare. The tire is just a narrow one and mine has a load rating of 1150 lbs.

OBTW it fits my DH (non HP) front brakes without a spacer.

Ended up going with the EZ Spare…

Did anyone get the Modern Spare kit and get it to fit into the spare tire well in the trunk?

Debating full kit vs just wheel/tire and then tote my own low profile floor jack and associated tools, on long road trips.

Yea, nothing like adding 100# to your Mustang on a long road trip ... ;)

Oh I hear ya!!! The 1.5T low profile is about 35lbs alone and a patch kit isn't my favourite idea on a 1500km each way road trip.

Yeah, I got the jack, etc. along with the spare, plus an aftermarket plug kit, all fits in the well, flush under the floor board

I ended up ordering the kit once they confirmed it all fits in the spare well, along with your corroborating post @smurfslayer

As @roadpilot pointed out; bringing my tool box with me to change out a spare is a ton of extra weight.

I've used the jack and wrench that comes with the kit and no problems. I will admit that jacking is a slow process..

Yeah; I watched their video on it. However, it's the trade off. Time, on the off chance you need it, vs weight all the time you drive the car.

Also, I had 2 flats with both having sidewall damage and goop/compressor would not have fixed.
