Tires are michelin A/V energy savers. I hit curbs at very very low speed, one backing into parking spot, and the other parallel parking. The impact was not great. The disturbing thing is I cannot trust car to take any trips out of my local area. NEVER DRIVE A CAR WITH NO SPARE!!!!!!!!! Ford shows their lack of concern by not offering some sort of compact spare, and yes, a doughnut will fit in trunk
