Goodson Acura Blog These Differences in Spare Tires Are Important to Know

Goodson Acura of Dallas wants to help you understand the difference between a full-size spare tire and a compact temporary spare tire. Sometimes called a donut, temporary spares are only meant for limited use. Here's a closer look at the limitations of a compact spare. Donut spare tires are not meant to cover long distances. In the best situations they can be counted on to get you to a service center where a new tire can be obtained. You should not drive on compact spare tires for long periods, and you cannot drive at a high rate of speed. Only full-size spare tires will allow you to operate your vehicle as normal. We want to invite you down to our service center in Dallas where you can have your worn tires replaced. We can also assist you with any other service or maintenance that you need. Our staff is trained for maintenance on all makes and models.   Schedule Service
