Can a Spare Tire Be Used as a Regular Tire?
1 Answers
Spare tires cannot be used as regular tires. Based on size, spare tires are categorized into non-full-size spare tires and full-size spare tires. The details are as follows: 1. Non-full-size spare tires: The main difference compared to regular tires is that their specifications and size are smaller than those of regular tires. If a non-full-size spare tire is used as a regular tire for an extended period, it can cause uneven pressure on one side of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a tire blowout, which is particularly dangerous during high-speed driving. 2. Full-size spare tires: Although full-size spare tires have the same specifications and size as regular tires, they should not be used as regular tires for long-term use. This is because the four regular tires on a vehicle wear out at a similar rate over time, and using a spare tire in place of a regular one can affect the vehicle's stability during driving.
