I just recieved my first flat tire in the Five O saturday. I had a big bolt in the left rear tire right next to the side wall. I used the tire inflation kit and it worked pretty well. My only problem, the bolt fell out and caused the tire to go flat again. I called Ford, they said they would tow it to the dealer, but that wasn't going to do me any good being that it was 11pm on a saturday. I managed to get it to reinflate and it held pressure for about 8 miles then i had the low tire pressure warning again, I pulled over and reinflated the tire once again and was able to drive home.
Having the tire go flat multiple times in one trip makes me really miss having a traditional spare tire and jack. Does ford sell spare's that clear the brembo brakes, and has anyone switched to having a spare tire?
I purchased some aftermarket fix a flat can and some tire plugs just in case I needed it while taking the car to get the tire replaced with a new pzero. I ended up not needing to use the fix a flat but could be a viable option for brembo brake car owners to have a 6 dollar plug kit and an extra bottle of run flat or another ford canister just in case you run into the scenario i was in. Worst case scenario would be having a major blow out only a tow or a the trusty old spare could fix, which leads to ultimately why I want a spare tire kit for the car.
Thanks in advance,
Shawn
