A few weeks ago, i had to put the spare wheel on my car. It was one of those slim tyres on a black rim. A friend of mine told me you can only drive on that wheel for a certain amount of miles. Is this true? And if so, how many miles. Just in case it happens again. Thanks. Katie x

 

Well, drive it some place where you can get the original tire put back on. It's not safe to drive on the spare tires, but it will last you. Also, try and keep your speed below 55 MPH with the spare.

 

true.
