Default Driving on the spare..........

I know I shouldn't break 50 MPH, but since the spare is the same height as the others, how exactly does it hurt it?

and yes I'll be getting my new one in a few days

Just make sure never to put a spare on a driving end of a vehicle...

FWD = spare on the rear

RWD = spare on the front

AWD = better have a full-size spare or drive gingerly with it on the front...

Analogy ---&gt;&gt; A B16A engine has a redline of 8000rpm....so what's the harm of running my SOHC 1.6L to 8000rpm too??? They're the same size overall. Answer, internal components. The SOHC doesn't have the valve-train for those engine speeds. Just like a spare tire doesn't have the internal components to safely carry more than 50mph.

WOW! What a dumbass why would you even post this at all, why does everyone have to try and be funny?

BTW I know you were being sarcastic, but keep it to your self.
