Got a Spare? Don’t Let a Flat Ruin Your Mustang Cruising This Summer

What happens if you’re kilometres from home and your Mustang gets a flat, and there’s no spare wheel in the boot? You’re stuck. That’s exactly why every driver should carry a DriveSava Mustang spare wheel, especially in the heat of an Aussie summer, when breakdowns are more likely and help isn’t always nearby.

A flat tyre can turn an epic road trip into a logistical nightmare. We’ve seen it happen time and time again, and as Mustang enthusiasts ourselves, we want to help you avoid that scenario. Having a Mustang spare wheel isn’t just about convenience, it’s about safety, preparation, and protecting your pride and joy. It’s also about maintaining your independence on the open road. 

 

Why Your Mustang Needs a Spare Wheel Kit!

Aussie summers are brutally hot. Our long highways, unpredictable road surfaces, and intense heat can wreak havoc on your tyres. Whether you’re taking a long coastal drive or cruising to your next car meet, you’re more likely to experience tyre failures during the hotter months.

Without a DriveSava Mustang spare wheel, you’re relying entirely on roadside assistance or temporary repair solutions, both of which can be costly, slow, and stressful. And if you’re in a regional or remote area, (with the high chance of no cell phone courage!), you could be waiting hours.

A full spare wheel kit gives you peace of mind and helps you get back on the road faster. It’s one of the most practical investments you can make for your car, especially in summer.

 

What’s in a Mustang Spare Wheel Kit?

Not all spare wheel kits are created equal. At Pony Parts Australia, we designed and developed the DriveSava Mustang spare wheel kit, a high-performance solution specifically designed to fit all Mustang models from 2015 S550 and S650 onwards, including those with Brembo brakes.

Each kit includes:

  • 1 x Lightweight alloy spare wheel (available in 19” or 20”)
  • 1 x High-performance Q-rated tyre (rated to 160kph, 113 load index = 1150kg)
  • 1 x OEM-style scissor jack
  • 1 x Folding wheel brace and jack handle
  • 1 x Instruction and fitment guide

Every component fits neatly inside the wheel and stores securely in the boot – no modifications needed. The kit is compact, rattle-free, and matches your Mustang’s factory rolling diameter. It’s fully compatible with ABS and traction control systems and clears even high-performance Brembo brake setups (GT350/GT500).

Plus, we offer flat-rate shipping Australia-wide and international shipping on request, so you can get road-trip ready no matter where you’re based.

 

Flat Tyre? Here’s What You Should Do

If you do get a flat, having a Mustang spare wheel means you can get back on the road quickly and safely. But even with a spare, you need to follow some simple steps:

  1. Pull over safely – away from traffic and on a flat surface
  2. Engage the handbrake and turn on your hazards
  3. Use your jack and tools correctly – refer to your owner’s manual if needed
  4. Swap the wheel – and tighten lug nuts in a star pattern for even pressure
  5. Get back to cruising – This high-performance spare is Q-rated to 160km/h, so you’re not stuck crawling home. However, we always recommend driving responsibly and getting your original tyre repaired as soon as you can. 😉

 

Hot Roads Are Tough On Tyres – Here’s Why

You might be surprised to learn how much the summer heat affects tyre performance. Tyre pressure increases with temperature, and that can lead to blowouts, especially on long-distance drives.

If you want a deeper look at how heat impacts your tyres, we recommend reading this excellent article from Tyrepower Australia: 👉 How Hot Roads Affect Your Tyres – Insights from Tyrepower. It explains how hot asphalt, overinflation, and road friction all combine to increase tyre wear and risk.
