How Far Can the Lynk & Co 01 Spare Tire Run?
2 Answers
There is no limit to how far the Lynk & Co 01 spare tire can run, but it should not be used for an extended period to avoid causing the car to deviate and affect the wear of the normal tires. Below is some relevant information about the Lynk & Co 01: 1. Power: Equipped with a 2.0TD turbocharged engine from the Drive-E series, with a maximum power of 140kW/4500rpm and a maximum torque of 300Nm/1400-4000rpm. 2. Configuration: The Lynk & Co 01 features a comprehensive NVH luxury setup, which prevents noise and vibration at the source; it blocks noise transmission paths, optimizes sound quality for purer and more stable frequencies, and includes an INFINITY Hi-Fi-level 10-speaker audio system with a total power output of 360W, offering premium car-level audio configuration.
My Lynk & Co 01 manual clearly states that the compact spare tire is for emergency use only. Just last week, I helped a friend deal with this issue - that small spare tire has a maximum design speed of 80km/h and requires inflation to 4.2 BAR. It's crucial to note that the total distance shouldn't exceed 80 kilometers because this tire's sidewall is as thin as paper, causing noticeable body sway during sharp turns on interchange ramps. Two years ago during a road trip, I experienced a flat and had to drive over 70 kilometers on the spare to reach a repair shop, sweating with both hands gripping the wheel the whole time, not daring to exceed 60km/h. Never believe those online claims about driving hundreds of kilometers - when the tread depth wears below 1.6mm, the tire could fail at any moment.
