Space saver wheels are designed to be used temporarily in the event of a flat tyre, and are limited to a maximum speed of 50mph in the UK. These wheels are smaller than standard wheels to save space in your vehicle's boot and allow you to continue your journey safely until you can have your tire repaired or replaced.
You may be wondering if using a smaller space saver wheel for short distances can damage your transmission. I can assure you that this is not the case. The smaller wheel size will not negatively impact your vehicle's transmission or other components when used within the recommended limitations.
In fact, many vehicle manufacturers recommend using space saver wheels due to the limited space in the boot and to reduce CO2 emissions. As a smaller wheel weighs less than a standard wheel, it can help improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
I hope this information has been helpful in addressing your concerns. If you have any further questions or would like to place an order for a space saver wheel, please don't hesitate to contact us.
