Temporary Spare
A temporary spare is a lightweight, reduced-size spare tyre intended for short-distance emergency use only, typically limited to 50mph and 50 miles. Also known as a space saver or skinny spare, it is designed to minimise boot space usage while providing a get-you-home solution. Temporary spares must be replaced with a full-size tyre at the earliest opportunity.
