How Long Can a Spare Tire for a Car Be Used?

[StRemington]

There is no strict limit on how long a car's spare tire can be used, and using it for two or three days is generally not a problem. However, a spare tire is not meant for long-term use. The purpose of a spare tire: The primary function of a spare tire is to enable the vehicle to be driven to a repair shop in an emergency. Once the original tire is repaired, it should be promptly replaced back to the normal tire. Especially for some non-full-size spare tires, they can easily cause the car to veer, and prolonged use may also affect the wear of the normal tires. Lifespan of a spare tire: Although there isn't a specific mileage limit, spare tires, like regular tires, are made of rubber and thus have a corresponding service life, typically 3-5 years. If stored for too long, they may begin to deteriorate.
