Will a Temporary Spare Tire Cause Pulling?

[McSilas]

Temporary spare tires will not cause pulling. The term 'temporary spare' refers to a tire with a different tread width, typically narrower than the four main tires. For example, while a standard tire might be 205 in width, a temporary spare is usually around 100 to 120 in width. However, the overall diameter (or height) of the temporary spare matches that of a full-size tire. Temporary spares are designed for emergency use only, not for long-term driving. Regardless of width, manufacturers impose specific production and usage requirements on spare tires. Since they are not used continuously on the vehicle and thus experience no wear, a new spare tire behaves differently from a worn-out regular tire. Using a spare tire on the vehicle inherently carries certain safety risks.
