How Many Days Can You Drive on a Spare Tire?
1 Answers
The number of days you can drive on a spare tire depends on the type of spare tire. If it is a full-size spare tire, it can be used as a regular tire. However, if it is a compact spare tire (non-full-size), the driving distance should not exceed 100 kilometers, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h. A spare tire is an extra tire provided for emergencies, and most passenger cars come equipped with one. Common spare tires are categorized into full-size spare tires and compact spare tires. The difference between them is that a full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. In contrast, a compact spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, making it suitable only for temporary use and exclusively for non-driving wheels.
