Well, it happened... I managed to blow out a tire the other morning... hole in the sidewall of the tire I could stick my index finger in... So all the fix a flat in the world wont fix that...

So, what dummy wheel will fit? Been doing some digging, and I have seen that a Fiesta spare will fit... But, I don't want too go buy one unless I know it will work. then, will it fit under the false floor? I need the cargo area so just putting it back there is not an option...

well darn.... I was hoping.... thanks for trying.... I ended up buying a small portable air compressor too keep in the car. I don't like the one that Ford gives you, and that thing will wake the dead since it is so loud. The one I got was like 50 bucks from Amazon is quite fast, and fairly quite.... Even comes with the tools too plug the tire. (excluding a jack & tire wrench)

So a 2011-2019 Fiesta donut Spare will work when screw the lug nuts in? Have you tried doing that? ( I dont care about storage in back.) I am happy not to keep a big darn full tire in the back! I would never purchased my 2021 Ecosport SE if I new there was no spare. Please let me know i can use a Fiesta Spare:)

Well, kinda.... it will fit on the rear, but not the front... so if you get a flat on the front, you have too move a rear tire too the front and put the spare on the rear.... there is one year of an svt focus that the dummy will fit on the front, but I don't know which year that is...

Thanks thats sounds workable. Thanks for telling me this is valuable information. I can do this in a emergency sounds fine.

I had the car 2 months and on New Yeats Eve I ran over a simple average curve and got Flat like that. There is curves everywhere. I paid 90$ for service to find out I did not have a spare they left as they were service only and not tow truck. Because I took me 4 hours to find a tow truck that would tow my car back to Hollywood from Santa Ana at 11pm at nite. It cost me 500$ to tow the car back to Hollywood. Its about a 1.5 hour drive. I had not choice but to Tow Car to Mechanic/ Gas Station. You need a spare tire or you can have a nightmare senario Even with AAA you need a spare tire!

I could not believe the crap air compressor crap in the back of the Ecosport as i saw for the first time. I can buy 2 cans of this junk for 20$ at the car supply store or rite aide.

I really love this care other wise its very good looking😀
