Can a spare tire be installed on the front wheel?
1 Answers
Spare tires should not be installed on the front wheels for regular use, as they are designed for emergency purposes only and are not suitable as normal tires. Below is relevant information about spare tires: 1. Spare tire sizes: There are two types of spare tires - full-size and compact (non-full-size). Full-size spares have identical specifications to regular tires and can be used for extended periods when installed. 2. Different wear coefficients: However, since the wear coefficient, tire pressure, and other parameters differ between the spare and the other three tires, prolonged use is not recommended, and the normal tire should be reinstalled promptly. Compact spare tires are smaller than regular tires, with a speed limit of 40 km/h, making them unsuitable for front-wheel installation. In case of tire issues, it's advisable to replace with a normal tire as soon as possible to avoid safety hazards during driving.
