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.
