Generally, a spare tire should not be used for more than three days on the road. For non-full-size spare tires, the total mileage should not exceed 50 kilometers. Definition of a spare tire: A spare tire is an extra tire prepared for a car. In case of a flat tire or any issue with a wheel, the spare tire can be promptly used as a replacement to prevent the car from breaking down midway. Types of spare tires: Full-size spare tire. A full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the car and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size spare tire. This type of spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, making it suitable only for temporary use. It should only be used on non-driving wheels, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h. Run-flat tire. Also known as a safety tire (run-flat tire), commonly referred to as a "bulletproof tire," it is directly translated in the industry as a "tire that can run without air."
