How Long Can a Spare Tire Be Driven On?

[VanHenry]

Full-size spare tires can be used continuously without issues, but non-full-size spare tires should not exceed 60 kilometers per hour and can only be driven for about 100 kilometers—they are not suitable for long-term use. Regular inspections of the spare tire are essential to avoid discovering it is unusable when an emergency arises. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground, typically installed on metal rims. As one of the critical components of a car, tires directly contact the road surface and work with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort, smooth operation, and strong traction between the wheels and the road. They also enhance the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability.
