Does a spare tyre have to be the same size?
A spare can be different in size, as long as the height of the tyre makes up the difference. Wheel size is only part of what makes up the total rolling circumference; the tyre makes up the rest. Full-size spare tire having a full-size spare means buying a set of five tires for your car, instead of four, so you have a normal tire ready to go if something happens. The major advantage to having a full-size spare is that it’s not a temporary fix. Once you change it, you can treat the spare as a regular tire.Different cars come with varying wheel sizes, so you’ll need a compatible spare wheel based on your vehicle’s original specifications.

What size of spare tire do I need?
A full-size spare is the same exact size as the other tires on the vehicle. Full-size spares come in either matching or non-matching varieties. A matching spare is completely identical to the other tires currently on your car. It’s also important to remember that non-matching full size spares and donuts are temporary fixes and should only be driven on long enough to get your car safely to a service center. Once at the service center, a trained professional should replace the spare with the correct tire to match your set.
Why are new cars coming without a spare tire?
Many new cars are missing the spare as a way to shed costs and pounds, said Michael Crossen, an automotive technician with Consumer Reports. It costs less not to have to include a spare tire in the vehicle, but we also save weight. And that helps with fuel economy and less tailpipe emissions, Crossen said. You should drive no more than 50 miles on a temporary or donut spare tire if possible. If you absolutely must go longer than 50 miles, avoid driving on it longer than 70 miles.Temporary spares should only be driven around 50 miles (and less if you can help it). If you drive too far on a temporary spare, you can not only end up with another flat, but also damage your car.
