What is a space saver tyre?
Space saver tyres
A space saver is a smaller, narrower spare wheel designed purely for emergency use. It takes up less boot space than a full-size spare.
Limitations
- Maximum speed typically 50 mph
- Not designed for extended distances — get to a garage as soon as practical
- Handling will feel different from normal, particularly in corners
- Electronic safety systems may behave differently
Replace the space saver with a proper full-size tyre at the earliest opportunity.
