There are certain things Visalia drivers should know about their vehicles. Here at BMW of Visalia, we believe in the importance of basic auto safety education. That's why we're going to share some information about the difference between a compact temporary and full-size spare tire in this blog post.
Each type of spare has its own benefits. A compact temporary, or donut, spare tire is best for small cars. It's much lighter than a full-size spare. Its construction means it must be used differently. You should drive no faster than 55 miles per hour on a donut and be sure to replace it as soon as possible.
If you have a larger vehicle, you may be carrying a full-size spare. It's like your regular tires, but may be slightly lighter. You don't need to change your driving habits with this type of tire, and it can remain in your regular tire rotation for quite some time.
