How Far Can I Go With The "Donut" Spare Tyre? by loba18: 8:31pm On Jul 08, 2020
Good evening sirs and mas, I have an impromptu meeting tomorrow morning around Lagos Business School. I live somewhere off college road, Ogba. Just this evening, I noticed one of my tyres is bad so I had to replace it with the "donut" spare tyre. Can I drive that far with that tyre? That's from Ogba to LBS, Ajah. Please advise me.

pls give distance in Kilometres. Not many people know the distance between Ogba to LBS or Ajah (because not everyone stays in Lagos).

That said, 70miles is the furthest range you should safely run on doughnut tyres.

if you pass the recommended speed you are inadvertently destroying the tyre, it could burst or deform.

Remember to pressurize the tire to the Recommended pressure on the side wall I think it's about 60psi
