Spare wheel

[ADV_93]

My 306 has cyclones (15 inch) on it, but the spare wheel in the carrier underneath the car is a Harrier (14 inch)

I ordered 2 new tyres for my car a few days ago that still haven't arrived and i'm considering putting on the spare wheel in the mean time (which is in good condition).

However the problem is, can i stick the harrier on my car and drive it or is it illegal? Thanks!

It should be fine to drive just might feel a bit strange I guess

The overall size of a harrier and its tire will probably match the cyclones anyway due to tyre size

I've completely forgotten the rules but if you treat it as a space saver and don't give it the beans you'll be fine.

it will be ok...but if you use it for more than traveling to a repair station, it is technically illegal and invalidates your insurance.

each axle must have the same size wheel/tyre size basically...unless using a spare or space-saver in an emergency to transport the car to a repair station.

Cheers for the feedback folks!

Got 2 new tyres fitted today and the mechanic said spacesaver can be any size and should only really be used to get you out of the s**t
