The spare isn't available with summer tires. Has nothing really to do with 19" or 20" rims, just a bad handling match with the summer tires that could lead to spins, wrecks and liability claims.

How are summer tyres different. I understand that your winter tyres contain studs

Summer tires, with their softer rubber and stiffer construction, have vastly different grip and handling characteristics than all-season tires. No one recommends mixing the two types on the same car. The spare will be more similar to the A/S but even mushier, so very different from the summer tires and a really bad match.

I suppose that makes sense. I'd still be inclined to get one after the fact if it fit the GT PP.

Drilled and slotted rotors, what is this, the honda forum?
Not at all, many Ford GT Falcon owners replace the standard rotors with Drilled and slotted to dissipate the heat, especially in our summer heats

Don't worry, US and Australia are only separated by a common language :lol:
