i was wondering that. I just need the spare tire so i can rotate my own tires. Would the spare fit and clear the brakes?Nope, but thankfully my Ford Edge snow tires did. Escape’s tires are too small. The bolt pattern will match but I doubt the rim will clear the brakes.

There are a zillion threads on this subject in the forum. It is quite possible and safe for you and the battery as well.Impossible to Jack and stand on this car.
Thank you for the link. Of course it can be done but using a spare tire is simply easier for me and I find it safer overall. Faster maybe I don’t know.There are a zillion threads on this subject in the forum. It is quite possible and safe for you and the battery as well.
Start with this thread, but honestly, they're almost as common as the winter "My range has dropped" threads.

That is what I do. One corner at a time, I quickly throw my spare on the first corner and work my way around the car, then replace the spare at the end. It is a convenient time to check the pressure in the spare while I have it out.Thank you for the link.

You claim it's impossible, but then admit, "of course it can be done..."Impossible to Jack and stand on this car.
Sure it is....we believe you...It’s sarcasm bozo.
