Collapsible spare - We're waiting Ford

[5.0ALM]

I haven't seen these before, and what a brilliant idea!

Would love to see an OEM or aftermarket solution that suits the Mustang bolt pattern AND accommodates the Brembos.

I would settle for just a regular space saver option with the performance pack.

That inflator goo is worse than useless for all but the simplest punctures.

I am considering a full size tire to solve the problem. I keep stuff in the trunk but I think there is enough room for both. It's a little more complicated because the front and rear are different sizes. Now all I have to do is find a good tire dealer who knows exactly what I want.

Never seen one of these. Thanks for sharing.

GM used those on some cars like Vega, Monza as well as Camero and Firebird. Old enough to remember them.

I am kinda kicking myself for not getting the spare but we will see.

So let me ask this - if we don’t get the spare, do we even get a jack?

No. Without the spare option you just get the inflator with sealant. You can always get the factory spare kit from ford accessories. If you have the Brembo brakes you will need an alternative solution.

I just ordered one of these kits. Says it fits 2024 Dark Horse with Performance Suspension. https://www.automotiveauthorityllc....-gt-with-brembo-brakes?variant=44013419626753

Waiting on my EcoBoost Premium Conv. I assume there is a spare tire well under the trunk? If so, anyone know if it'll fit a full size spare?

Ford has a spare tire kit you can buy with the jack and lug wrench. It will not fit cars with Brembo 6 piston brakes, but there is an aftermarket company that does offer a kit. It is about $150 more, so if the factory one works, for your application, you can save $150! Both fit in the spare tire well. Mine arrives tomorrow. https://www.automotiveauthorityllc.com/collections/mustang-gt-spare-tire-1

Thanks. I am assuming though, like most dealers, they are cheaping out on the spare and it's not a true full size spare. I don't do limited spares. They are no good when you are on a long road trip. I want to get a full size wheel and tire, so I can worry about fixing the flat when I get home, not in the middle of a road trip.

Any info / pics you can post would be greatly appreciated, so I know if I can order the factory spare, or if I have to order a full size. I take delivery next week, so the earlier I can get the spare ordered the better.

Thanks in advanced.

I have one in my S550. Full size won't fit, too tall. I have front Brembos, so I have to pout a rear on the front and the spare on the rear.

Cars that go to Dubai have to have a spare tire, so if you have a Ford dealership that will work with you, there is a long tire hold down that will allow for a full size spare, keep in mind, that you end up with almost zero trunk space.

Thanks for the info and pictures. The Temp Spare actually doesn't look that bad. Do you know if it has a max speed or max milage?
