Have the same issue with the Boss 302, and yes I did have a flat and no, the stupid inflator they give didn't help AT ALL. I'll be investing the additional $500 for that peace of mind that Ford refused to give. Idiots.
And yes, the SN197 drives way bigger than the SN95. It was like going from my '69 Mustangs to my '73 convertible. The S550 drives big to me as well.

Curious about the company for a spare. My 2011 GT500 has the can of fix-o-flat from ford I'd never use unless stranded... Like to know more.
