Full Size Spare is smaller size than other factory tires?

[Barracuda340]

Or if their "full size" spare is on the standard maverick XL 17x7 rim , then just buy an el cheapo radial in the same size as your other tires add the TPMS sensor and mount it. Or drive around w the donut under the back until you come across a wrecked one of these being salvaged and grab it's full sized wheel.

And you got one. It is FULL size not Donut Size.

Nothing stated on the order that the FULL size had to match exactly to the four other tires.

Note though that a spare tire might have different specifications than you’re other functioning tires.

MIght…. But if you order a “FULL SIZE” spare, then it SHOULD be a FULL size as what is on the vehicle, not what they want to give you.

Tire size should match, steel rim is okay…

Well as usual the devil is in the details! Full size does not mean same size unfortunately. However I will go out tomorrow and take a peek at mine, mine is a hybrid with the standard 17-in wheel tire combo but I won't be surprised if it is smaller than the Continentals that are on the other four rims. On the positive side however my 2003 Dodge ram left my driveway with the same spare tire that I got from the factory and my 2013 Toyota Tacoma left my driveway with the same spare tire that came from the factory so hopefully you will never have to use it!

It’s close enough to full size to keep you moving at a good clip down the highway. No donut spares for me.

possibly a true full size won’t fit underneath. Regardless it’s big enough

Does it really matter ? Most times, even if it’s a true full size they are a different brand so going to have to replace the others if flat is a write off anyway or if tread is low on other 3 then same deal.

point is it keeps you moving at speed so you don’t have to limp.

Looks like all Mavericks come with two different spare tires:

1. a space saver spare tire, donut, or temporary tire, size T155/70D17
2. If you purchase a hybrid or pay extra for a so called "Full Size Spare" surprise, the size is 215/60R17 . This is not the same as the OEM tire/rim on any Maverick.

Please note, the spare does not have a Ford OEM TPMS factory sensor.

This information is shown on the Placard located on the driver side door jam.

Hello,

I’ve read that the “full size” spare, a $115 optional upgrade, is 1-2 widths smaller than the tires on the Maverick.

Has anyone been able to verify this? Should the dealer replace it with a matching tire?
