It threw me for a loop not having a spare tire when I popped open my trunk. Not only does the tire filler junk ruin the sensors, it also makes it so you need a completely new tire because you can't patch the gunked up old tire when you finally get to the repair shop. It also means you are 100% SOL if you tear the sidewall or have a blowout.

It's also hard for me to imagine ford sold you a spare tire option where the tire diameter is different than the stock wheels, even if they are an optional upgrade. I think you're looking at the width and sidewall height and getting confused with the tire's actual OD.

hardly, and free roadside yes. but you still have to wait for your car/repair/rental. its a judgement call that would have to be made depending on the situation.
