Compact Spare Tire

The compact spare is for temporary emergency use with radial tires. It is engineered to be used on your style vehicle only. Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be repaired (or replaced) and reinstalled at the first opportunity.

• Temporary use spare tires are for emergency use only. With these tires, WARNING!

• Temporary use spare tires are for emergency use only. With these tires, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h).
