Ron Cambridge Posted Wednesday at 07:36 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 07:36 PM I recently purchased a 2022 Ford Edge Titanium I just noticed it doesn't have a spare tire, there is a pump in the back area, however if a tire is physically damaged and it cannot be pumped up what are my options I am looking for a spare tire on a rim I called my ford dealer and spoke to the parts person and I was informed that Ford does not have any spare tires to sell to use as a spare?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted Thursday at 01:04 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 01:04 AM My 2021 SEL has a spare tire donut. Do you have the storage space under the trunk for a spare tire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted Thursday at 01:36 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 01:36 AM I had to upgrade my 17 inch spare to 18 inch (I have FWD and upgraded the front rotors to the larger ones), and I found a lot of never been out of the vehicle spares from 2 or 3 year old vehicles. Mine was out of an MKX, and it had never been mounted or out of the cargo area. Even though it is 4 years old, since it isn't hit with UV rays, it should be fine (I have the original 1989 spare in my Cougar that I put on my Escape to get it to the tire shop). I was wanting an 18 or 19 inch aluminum rim with the T rated spare tire, but apparently sellers think they are gold plated, not worth the extra cost for a lighter combo. Also a lot of the ones for sale were the "kit", wheel and tire, jack and lug wrench, attaching bolt and holder. Just be sure it is an 18 inch one since you have AWD. Ford could sell you the rim only, and you can get a temp rated tire elsewhere if you want new, but unlike some other vehicles, they don't seem to sell the kit, that was optional on all trim levels for 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgeidiot Posted Sunday at 03:25 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:25 PM I know this will seem snarky and I apologize. Is the difference in weight between a steel and aluminum spare tire wheel at the most be 15 pounds? You probably know that Ford made spare tires optional with a charge of $100. I think it became optional on the Edge in 2021. It now comes with a compressor and sealant kit which I am sure weighs even less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
