What annoys me is that Ford seems to have selected the cheapest temporary tyre that meets the load rating & not worried about the difference in diameter.

Are you kidding? I had to replace 3 tyres in a 6 month period. Wasn't happy at all. All of them were large nails, I swear I thought I had someone putting them in at night, all in the side wall too and at the back of the car near the street. And I think I tried repairing one of them once, and the repair failed in a week. Never again. And damn, takes so long to replace a tyre using Tyresales. And most of the places that end up installing your tyres are annoying, like I would never service my car at any of these places.
