tyre on another vehicle unless it is

than the regular tyre. Your

tyre is installed. Driving over road
debris or bumps could possibly
damage the underside of your
vehicle.
Replace the tyre when you can see
the tread wear indicator bars. The
replacement should be the same size

same wheel. The spare tyre is not
designed to be mounted on a regular
wheel, and the spare wheel is not
designed for mounting a regular tyre.
