Is it advisable to make long journeys using a temporary-use spare wheel?

Correct answer

No, because of their speed and mileage limitations.

It is not advisable to make long journeys using a temporary-use spare wheel. The main reasons are the speed and mileage limitations that these wheels have. Temporary spare wheels are designed as an emergency solution that allows you to reach a garage or safe place for a proper repair. They generally have speed limitations, usually around 80 km/h, and are also restricted in terms of the total distance they can cover, which is usually between 50 and 200 kilometres. These limitations exist because temporary wheels do not have the same capabilities or performance as a regular wheel.
