Just in case, that part# 59000690. While we do not sell direct to the public, you can source tires from an authorize seller, like Discount Tire/Discount tire direct.
Super. Thanks!

I replaced the donut spare with a full size wheel/tire. Just move the cover to the upper slot just everyone says, the only issue is that the stud that holds down the wheel down is not long enough to reach through the wheel. but I haven't had any problems with it moving around in there.
The full size fit in the BB? Thinking of doing it for mine too.

Yes, I bought a set of 225 K02s over the winter and used one of the stock tires as a spare, I drive on the highway a lot and needed a full size spare. There's plenty of room in that compartment for a real spare, even with the foam pieces still inside.

The Falken Wildpeak AT3W's - 235/65-17, 104H rating, are not unique or special for the Bronco Sport. Can be bought from Tire Rack, Discount, others. Had to buy one a few months back when I ran over a bolt or rebar or something like that in the dark. Discount Tire got me one from the local warehouse or distribution center same day.

Ford is just being lazy/ cheap by not upgrading the spare when a customer chooses the upgraded AT3W tires. Yeah, I could swap out the tire on the spare if I wanted to spend the $200 to do it.
Find someone selling take offs and you'll have backups. I sold my takeoffs whole set for 200

Messing around in the cargo area noticed a type of tray that looked like it would fit the spare tire cover. I have an Outer Banks and salesperson said full size spare but it is in fact the donut. I’m not sure if this “slot” is where the cover would go if I did have the full size spare. But it also seems ti reduce the height difference with seats folded down. Is that the real intention? Or would this be where the full size spare cover would fit?
This is covered in the owners manual, page 231.

So from what im reading it sounds like the cargo floor is adjustable based off which spare you have. Seems like a time saver for Ford to just have one part for the floor but then why is there two different part numbers for the cargo area mat?
