Today, automakers use several types of spare tires. Some vehicles have a full-sized spare while others have a compact spare. The full-sized spare is a regular tire. The compact tire or “donut” is a space-saving tire meant to get the vehicle to a repair shop. The manufacturer describes the safe speed and recommended distances for the “donut” spare.

Abilene drivers know the importance of having a good spare. Tires can fail in the middle of a trip or local errand. The compact tires do not handle or steer like regular tires, and drivers must lower speeds and drive only a short distance.
