Tire Issues
alright, sorry if this is a wall of text. I'll try to be as brief as possible.
My car, a 2005 LX Civic, was in an accident, my mom was driving it and ended up being involved in a 4 car collision. Wasn't her fault, but needless to say the insurance companies have been fighting for quite some time over it. So then, it's been sitting in my garage for awhile now, battery is dead and one tire is flat. I can jump it to get the battery going again, no problem. There is a problem with the tire though, somehow my spare has gone flat in the time it's been sitting there. What I do have are 4 stock Honda Fit tires sitting in my garage from my girlfriends car, she bought whole new wheels. So my question is, would it be safe to put on a Fit tire to get my car out of the garage, then possibly driven about a half block between collision centers (gunna have it towed to the first one) I need 2 estimates, so i gotta go to two different places. If anyone knows if thats ok or knows where I can look it up, that would kick ***. Also, It's the back left tire that would be replaced by the Fit tire.

if its a different size then the civic tire the worst it might do is pull a little bit. so i say go with the fit wheel and tire
Fit tires will work fine until u get the other fixed.
As long as both rims are 14" or 15", the diameter HAS to match.
This is only a temporary fix, I would not use it on the highway.
