Default spare tire question
I pulled the spare out yesterday and realized i can put a real tire in the spare tire well...what is the largest tire you all have put in there with changing the look of the trunk. I would rather have a real tire that i could roll at freeway speeds if i am on it. I have 18" s on the car right now

To have a real spare instead of a Gideon.

Ford say not to use fix a flat. Do you not have sensors anymore?

Stop by a tire store and see what fits?

The GT500 uses fix-a-flat. Does it not have TPMS?
