What is the difference between a full-size spare tire and a non-full-size spare tire for cars?
1 Answers
The difference between a full-size spare tire and a non-full-size spare tire lies in their definitions: A full-size spare tire has exactly the same specifications and size as the other four tires on the vehicle, allowing it to replace any one tire that is temporarily or permanently unusable. On the other hand, a non-full-size spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, making it suitable only for temporary use. Additionally, it can only be used on non-driving wheels, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. Generally, passenger cars are equipped with a spare tire that matches the specifications of the original car tires. However, some vehicles may use spare tires with special-colored rims, compact spare tires, folding spare tires, or run-flat tires, among others, to remind the owner to promptly inspect and replace the faulty tire.
