If you must use a temporary spare wheel after a puncture, which speed limit must you observe?

Correct answer

The manufacturer’s limit, without exceeding the road limit or a safe speed.

The limit marked on the wheel and specified by its manufacturer, as well as the road limit and a safe speed. Many compact spares are limited to 80 km/h: this is a use restriction, not merely optional advice. Spare wheels do not all have the same construction or distance restrictions; follow those for your vehicle and repair or replace the damaged wheel as soon as possible.
