I heard that putting the spare donut on the front of a FWD car is bad if you go over recommended speed thats stamped on the side of it. It wears out the differential faster since the tires are different sizes. Best to swap a rear tire to the front and then put the donut in the back.
yea flotsamm i did do that it was the front that was damaged but we moved the rear one to the front and put the donut on the back but i am still a lil worried about driving it for so long
Donut is piece of crap. Only meant to get your car out of big scarey neighborhood when you blow a tire. NOT meant to actually drive around on it.
DESIGNED to install and then drive your car to get a NEW tire.
Better idea to install two stock wheels and tires on same axel or install all four stock wheels. These tires are meant to actually drive around on.
