yeah my 6th gen is on a donut tire im just wondering what are the speed limitations for donut tires I was doing about 90 last nite on a donut and it wasnt that bad. I just would like to kno how long i can go on a donut.

 

Read the info on the tire.

 

usually the max speed on donut tires are 50, but thats taking it to the maximum, i always drive at a good 45 with my flashers on when i put on a donut

since you went 90 try 120 and let us know if your still alive

 

i really need to start reading the entire post that people make, i seem to just look at the question and completely disreguard the retarded **** that some people say.
doin 90 on a donut eh? i bet you used a tire iron to torque it too, your lucky the nuts didnt fly off and send you flying into a ditch, i guess we didnt get so lucky

I use a tire iron and german specs all the time. The problem doesn't lie in the nuts, the actual tire isn't made to take those speeds.

 

thats not what im trying to say, of course the tire isnt made to go those speeds but as smart as this guy sounds he probably doesnt know what the hell torque is let alone about german specs, i doubt he even tightened them even close to 110, and going 90 could increase the chance that they would come loose, seen it happen before

 

You are definetely right when driving at 45 when having a donut tire, but having your "hazard lights" on is not suitable.
I had never heard of someone with "flashers" on when driving with a donut, but I've seen a lot of people during heavy rain driving with their hazard lights on.
My point is, hazard lights should only be used when your car is having a serious problem, so you are warning people to keep a distance or slow down. Any other situation other than a real emergency or technical problem can result in a ticket!
BTW... I'm just sharing some info, not trying to be a smart a**!!!

 

depends on where you are, around here the highway is a very busy place, and the speed limit is 60, and driving 15 under holding up traffic without notifiying anyone that theres a problem can also result in a ticket
