Stang65 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Can anyone explain why Ford is replacing the mini spare tire on V6 Mustangs with a Tire Mobility Kit? Why can they not at least offer the option of a mini spare in place of this kit. I am sure it will fit in the trunk still since they offer it in the V8 Model. The kit is useless if the sidewall is cut by a nail or something else which has been the case for me with my '02 V8 & '06 V6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy_tho Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 My first guess would be to tweak out the MPG rating. lol. The 08 and up bullit and the GT500 only have the patch kit also I believe.

The spare tire is a "fleet only" option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
