DaveofDurham Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Can a donut spare be used on a front wheel of the C-Max? I have a donut spare for my C-Max. I have had to use it once on the right rear wheel after when the original full size tire had a hole blown in its sidewall after hitting some road debris. The donut spare worked great on the rear wheel, but I don't know if the donut spare could be used on one of the front wheels. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obob Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) It worked for me, however, I assume because my donut was a bit smaller than the other front wheel, it pulled when I hit the brakes toward the spare. If I had lots of time, on getting a flat, if my tire fix kit didn't do the job, I would put the donut on the back and take a full size wheel up to the front. This is my post on the pulling. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/1116-spare-tire-solution-for-c-max-hybrid/page-2?do=findComment&comment=18247 From this thread: http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/1116-spare-tire-solution-for-c-max-hybrid/page-2 Update: Note: I just re-read that post. This test of the donut on the front was done with traction control off. Edited March 5, 2016 by obob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
