Space saver tyres are a cheap way of turning a sh!t box into a drift car!

Oh, try not to wear them out either, VERY expensive to replace.
why replace when there is enough room for a full size spare, just buy a steelie from a weakers or from ford,

i would of paid an extra $50 or so to get a full size spare if they asked, for this car its not about saving space its about saving money its a money saver tyre

I feel the same way, but I've had customers who actually want them "to keep the car original" Pfft......

It saves space.... and weight. Hey, some cars only have a can of crap to fix the tyre..... now i think that is worse. Um, in regards to saving money, arent they expensive?
