My Econetic has Zetec Alloys - being an Econetic I have no spare tyre, only the mobility kit.
I drive a lot of k's (1000 a week - hence getting the Econetic) but highway/freeway driving to and from Melbourne. This morning, 4:30am, hit a massive pot hole that I think appeared due to recent torrential rain, wrecked the tyre and buckled the rim. One tow truck and $1100 later, I will have a new wheel and tyre. I could have spent $1100 on much more exciting things!  Luckily I am covered for the tow truck, but I really think that Ford (and any other manufacturer) should offer Roadside Assistance for any vehicle with no spare. Sure, a slow leak or a nail or something could be patched with the mobility kit, but something like what happened to me today is only going to be fixed by replacement - requiring a tow truck. Anyway, rant over....
