Can the spare tire be used if the front tire is flat?

[ChloeLynn]

The spare tire can be used to replace a flat front tire. Concept of a spare tire: A spare tire refers to the backup tire for a car, which usually has the same specifications as the original tires. However, some vehicles use spare tires with special-colored rims, compact spare tires, folding spare tires, or run-flat tires to remind the owner to inspect and replace the faulty tire promptly. Types of spare tires: There are three types of spare tires: full-size spare tires, non-full-size spare tires, and run-flat tires. 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. A non-full-size spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width than the other four tires, so it can only be used temporarily and is limited to non-driving wheels. Run-flat tires, also known as safety tires or commonly referred to as 'bulletproof tires,' are officially termed 'tire pressure monitoring system tires' in the industry.
