Yup! You are welcome!

We have two sets of rims for our Fusion Energi: one set for winter driving, and one set for summer driving. The OEM P225/50 R17 V93 tire will fit into the Fusion Energy Trunk IF TIRE Stem Valve is removed allowing it to deflate and conform to the space in the Fusion Energi trunk. We keep a deflated off season wheel in the trunk as a spare. In BOTH cases of our having a flat tire, the ""Fix a Flat Foolishness" was not an option. In one case we had to have our neighbor bring one of our off season tires to our location because no services were available in the middle of Minnesota's Dark prairie where cell phone reception was intermittent at best. It took two days to order and replace the Fusion's P225/50R17 93V Michelin Energy Saver A/S summer tire. These Pictures show placing the deflated Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 winter tire into the Fusion Energi trunk. (MUST remove ther valve stem core so that the outside of the tire can compress and deform to fit the available trunk space and the back of the tire MUST be pulled against the top of the back side of the trunk). I use a small spade to help deflate/deform the larger and heavier Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 Winter tire so that it will slip into the trunk; the Fusion's OEM P225/50R17 93V Michelin Energy Saver A/S summer tire,slips in and out much easier. One can pick up a quality heavy vehicle sizer jack at most junk yards; get the large size as shown. One will also need to set the park brakes and chock the three good tires from moving before attempting to change the tire. One will also need, knee pads or cardboard to kneel on, a lug nut socket set, a long breaker bar wrench handle, and a torque wrench or cell, to set all of the lug nuts to 100 foot pounds. one should leave the spare tire un-inflated untill after the lug nuts are back on and the valve stem core is screwed back into the valve stem, (this will require a valve cap with the valve core remover and replacer feature on the top). The Fusion Energi comes with a tire compressor so use it to reinflate the tire to the recommended 35 PSI. Lower the tire until it touches the ground and then tighten all of the lug nuts to 100 foot pounds one should tighten and re-tighten the lug nuts in a cross pattern a minimum of 3 times. All of the tire changing equipment will fit into the tire center cavity except the long breaker bar wrench. The trunk lid closes with a little tire friction on it with the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 winter tire nut it closes fine; I have a picture but it shows the license number and my wife dosen't want me to use it without erasing the number so I won't upload it. Good Luck!

ANY "Fix a Flat Foolishness" will render the TPS inoperable; it plugs up the sensor as well as the Tire puncture. We have two sets of rims and tires one set for winter and one set for summer. We keep an un-inflated off season tire in our trunk as a spare. The Fusion Energi comes with a tire compressor so re-inflating the tire, if it is needed, is no problem. This is our Bridgestone Blizzak.BLIZZAK WS90 winter tire,(it is a little larger and harder than the OEM All Season P225/50R17 93V Michelin Energy Saver A/S tire), It will still fit in the trunk when un-inflated so that it can deform to fit the available trunk area. the trunk lid will rub a little on the close but it still closes and opens just fine.

I am still looking for a spare tire solution for our Ford Fusion Energi. I have purchase Second Party Manufactured rims so that we can have aggressive winter tires mounted on one set of rims and touring tires on the original Ford $1,000.00 rims. a tire mounted and inflated on a rim will NOT fit into the Fusion Energi trunk so, unless you want to carry the inflated spare tire and in your back seat, it won't fit into the vehicle. The inflation kit is of no use when the damage is on the sidewall nor is run flat tires of any use. What I ended up doing is taking the summer or winter tire and rim, deflating the tire entirely and then with a little help it will fit into the fusion trunk; but little else will. We do have a compressor on board to re-inflate the tire before sitting the vehicle down onto it. I used a spade to push the deflated tire into the trunk area. Grab the tire with both hands and rock it and it will come back out. with ease. I store the jack, wrenches, and torque indicator in the wheel cavity My friend says he doesn't change tires because he has AAA. We had that $1,000.00 dealer insurance that promised to come to our rescue it we had a roadside issue; in the prairies of Minnesota this didn't happen $350.00 towing and a day later to order the tire left us fully out of the $1000.00 insurance promise.
