Is it advisable to make long trips using a temporary-use spare wheel?
Travel: Preventive and efficient driving
Explanation
It is not advisable to make long trips using a **temporary spare wheel** due to its **limitations in speed and mileage**.
- Temporary spare wheels, known as **space-saver wheels**, are designed to be used only in emergency situations. Their main purpose is to allow you to reach the nearest workshop to repair or replace the damaged wheel.
- These wheels have specific restrictions: it is recommended not to exceed **80 kilometers per hour** and not to travel more than **200 kilometers** with them. This is because they are not designed to withstand the same level of use as a regular wheel.
- Additionally, although it is important for spare wheels to be slightly more inflated than the others, this does not eliminate the aforementioned limitations. Therefore, it is neither safe nor advisable to use them for long trips.
