Working alongside another vendor we are trying to determine the interest in production of a aftermarket Compact Aluminum Spare that can be used on Brembo/PP equipped vehicles (excludes GT350 at the moment)

We anticipate final costs to be approx 225.00 which would include the Rim, Tire, Jack, Wrench and Hardware similar to the current non-PP kit Ford is offering below:

Please let us know what you think

Is the price you quote $ or £ which ever Ford say that No saver is suitable as it may damage the Differential Why we don't have a Paid option is beyond me

Can we get clarification on this? I'd assume that the overall diameter is the same so it won't damage anything ... right Levittown?
If you look at the other threads, there is a lot of back and forth on this.

The US spec PP cars all come with Torsen limited slips, and Torsen themselves say up to a 25% difference on the extreme end is fine "assuming you stay within the limitations of the spare tire."

I realize that the UK/AU spec cars do not come with Torsens.

Put me down for one. As with my S197, I would only carry it on trips since I don't want to lug the weight the rest of the time. But I tend to take back roads on my trips, often outside cell coverage and don't trust fix-a-flat to get me out of any situation.

Same diameter of tire should mean no issue with any diff. But the diameter of an inflated PP tires is larger than the opening in the trunk floor. People have managed to get one in uninflated and planned to pump it up when its needed.

I'm not sure when a smaller diameter becomes an issue. With a clutch diff, obviously any difference in rear wheel diameters will cause clutch wear. But since there are no clutches to wear out with a Torsen I THINK the impact at a steady speed would just be that some parts are slowly rotating rather than standing still. There might only be additional stress (heat production) when accelerating or slowing down. Hopefully an expert will chime in (no Holiday Inn Express customers please).
