Ford Will Offer Space Saver Spare As Standard

[KryZak]

Do the XR6Ts and XR8s have an alloy spare? Or is it an option on those aswell?

[XR06T]

my ba has a steel spare, pretty sure the alloy spare is an option in the xr range

My Turbo had an alloy spare and im in NZ so I would have thought the other XRs would have tem as well.

Its going to be a laugh seeing a big car like a Falcon with a space saver.

I bought a March 05 XR6T and it came with a steel wheel - yet one that was about December (still a mk2) had a mag one (so I swapped). I am in NZ too.

Im all for the spacesaver. You rarely need ya spare and when u do its not for long. I presume it would shave 5-10kg off the vehicle weight and give u more space in boot. fine by me...

In the XR's they were an option, unless you had premium brakes.

I am for the full sized spare.

I hadnt had a flat for the last 10 years or about 400,000ks....then I have had 2 flats in the last month.....

Crappy Yoko Advan V103s... once they are half worn its as if they are made of cheese reinforced with tissue paper.
