I put on a small size spare tire yesterday and am curious how long I should drive it before replacing with a regular tire?

50 miles at 50mph is usually the standard. It says it either in your owner's manual, or sometimes on the tire itself.

Just another answer for those out there that read this. I just did 30 miles in 3:20. I m not in great shape or do I bike often. I was fatigued, and legs were stiff. other then that next day I was fine. I m almost 50 - so I can be done. Back to the question - even at 18 I wouldn t bike to school it it was 30 miles - I m thinking about 5-10 tops one way.

Drive carefully to the nearest tire repair site and have your full sized one either repaired or replaced. The little doughnut tires are only good for 50 miles and not to be driven at high speeds

If you read the manual about the tire it will tell you that you are only supposed to use that tire to get to a safe place. They are not rated to be driven around on regularly. It is a temporary tire just to get you home. You should get a real tire on ASAP.

Usually the specs are stamped right on the tire. Mainly 50 miles and no moe than 50mph while driving.

Most carry a warning not to exceed 50 mph nor to travel further than 50 miles.

TO the best of my experience, about 50 miles... but i would not ride with them on the highway, when i have to use one i go alot slower than normal. be careful, and get a good tire as soon as possible. good luck.

as long as there is tread on it. don"t forget,your car cannot perform the same without the same regular tires. it just an emergency tire only.
