Finally got my new AA spare tire!!!

[monte87]

Ford could contract with AA to buy their wheels, tack on $100, sell them as an option, and everyone makes $$ (except us, the customer but at least we then have a Ford spare tire).

1000%...........

Pardon my ignorance as my '22 GT doesn't have the PP. I bought the spare tire kit from the dealer. In what way are the calipers so much bigger from a non-PP Mustang?

Hey guys,
Finally got my new AA spare tire kit! That clears brembo brakes for PP cars!!!! Something FORD shoudve provided us stang owners instead of that crappy compressor, real JOKE!!
Any issues w fitment?? Any tips or info making it fit etc..
Thabks Anthony

Anthony,
I bought this for my 16’ GT PP a few months after I bought the car. I have only used it once on the rear axle. It seemed to work fine. At one time they were located in Raleigh and I drove down to pick it up. It does seem silly that the car never came with a spare. That ‘s common nowadays though.

The AA spare requires inflation to use, right? The one nice thing about the standard spare is there's enough room to keep it fully inflated.

Might be worth investing in a better portable compressor than the factory one.

It's just like any other spare, throw it in the trunk and you're GTG.

Just make sure it's to the proper inflation level when you do.

Thanks for reminding me that my Ford spare wheel/tire will not fit once I get the Brembo brakes installed. I have Steeda 19x10 wheeels and I kept the OEM 20x9 wheels/tires to use as 'winter' tires. I think I will check if the 20x9 OEM wheel/tire will fit in the spare tire compartment and use one as a spare. Otherwise I guess I will buy the AA spare.

Yeah, but what's the intended PSI? I remember reading on here before that if you have it fully inflated, it becomes too fat to actually fit in the spare well anymore.

I just checked my AA spare not to long ago and I can't remember exactly, somewhere around 45/50 psi, it is high.
I have no problem fitting it into the well and my trunk mat is flat, no bulge whatsoever.
It was designed to fit specifically the PP1 and into the spare well, fully inflated with no protrusion.

Call AA if you have questions.

Mine came with 32 PSI. I had to use a little of WD-40 in order for it to fit flush.

Finally installed it in car yesterday, fit like a glove. Actually a little too snug, had to lube up metal w WD40 to slide it in. But here she is!!! It's a beautiful wheel lol. I have to get the rubber for under bottom of spare soon, and do it right way. But good for now. I kept jack and handle in trunk, so no interference w wheel.

P.S. the cover fit, ok so-so... not 100% flush.. but good enough for me.. I guess taking some air outta tire would make it fit better, and I have compressor in trunk, so might do that.. just a head up guys. I have 32psi in tire.

In my case i used the same cardboard that came with the package to put under the tire but if you share with me where to get the rubber or under bottom i will get that one for better damping.

Thanks in advance...
