Yes, you can use a different size tire as a spare, but it’s not recommended. Using a tire that significantly differs in size can affect vehicle handling, stability, and safety. If you must use a different size, it’s best to drive at reduced speeds and for a limited distance until you can replace it with a proper tire. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual for specific recommendations regarding spare tires.
The spare tire for a 1994 Corvette is a compact temporary tire, specifically size 205/75D15. This tire is designed for emergency use and is not meant for long-distance driving. It is important to replace it with a full-size tire as soon as possible for optimal performance and safety.
Only if it is the same size as the regular tires.
Yes and no. If it isn't too much different then you can use it short term on a non-drive axle. In other words, put it on the front if your car is a rear wheel drive or put it on the back if your car is front wheel drive.
What about them? The spare should ether be a full size or temp. should be in the trunk on some models they dont use a spare and come equiped with run flat tires
It is usually recommended that you change both tires in the set (front or back) at the same time. This keeps the car level side to side and prevents uneven wear. A common practice with a full size spare is to match the spare with a new tire and use the odd tire off the wheels to replace the spare. This puts two new tires on the car and a serviceable one for a spare.My opinion, based on my knowledge is: If you replace one tire with the exact same brand, model, and size tire, and the other tire on the same axle has less than half it's tread left then also replace it. That way you have two tires on that axle with the same diameter. If it has more than half it's tread left, then just replace the one tire. The difference in diameter is not significant enough to do any harm. You do not have to worry about the two tires on the other axle. If on the other hand you are replacing the tire with a different brand tire or different size tire, then absolutely replace both tires on that axle. Different tire brands have different diameters even if they are listed as the same size.
No, a 2004 Nissan Altima spare tire will not fit a 2009 Dodge Charger. The two vehicles have different bolt patterns, wheel sizes, and specifications that make their spare tires incompatible. It's important to use a spare tire that matches the specific requirements of your vehicle for safety and performance. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a tire professional for the correct spare tire information.
It has a spare
He could not spare a single dime. He had a spare tire and used it to replace the flat.
Some people call the temporary compact spare tire a doughnut tire, I guess because it is round with a hole in the middle. You can only use this tire for an emergency.
You can Use this tire size calculator online to calculate different size tires and wheels on your ride. http://www.tire-size-calculator.com/ it is a great site that i use myself.
If you are rying to locate the size tire your vehicle I would consult my owners manual. There should be a specific size, make and model that you require. All cars do not use the same size tires, different size cars use different sizes.
the correct spare should be smaller. its a "space-saver". install it in your trunk per the owners manual and only use it when you have a flat (meaning dont use it as a regular tire, its only for emergencies to get you to a garage to repair the regular tire)
