Tire diameter and wheel diameter are two very different measurements. When choosing a spare tire, which of these measurements is critically important?
Many modern vehicles are no longer equipped with a factory-supplied spare tire. In addition, carmakers are not offering spare tires as part of their add-on options list.

An actual spare tire provides the peace of mind carmakers no longer offer.

Modern vehicles require a very specific set of design elements, not only work properly but also ensure no serious damage is caused to your vehicle's drivetrain. In this video, we discuss the importance of overall tire diameter compared to wheel diameter- Just one of the many important factors that go into proper spare tire design.

There are plenty of small donut spare tires smaller than the original tire/wheel diameters. it does pull to one side due to the smaller size. No problem at all for driving short distances.

What if my spare tire is 19 inch and the tires on my car are 18 inches. Is that ok too?
