Lincoln of Smithtown wants every driver to be informed about the safe operation of a vehicle. A compact spare tire, often called a donut, is provided with many new and used automobiles. This temporary spare is much different from a full-sized spare tire.
Donut spares are meant to be used for a brief period of time. Ideally, they will get you to a service center so that you can have your flat tire replaced. You should never attempt to drive on a compact spare for longer distances, and you should only use this type of tire at reduced speeds. Consider replacing your car's donut with a full-sized spare tire.
We want to invite you down to our dealership here in Saint James, NY where you can get a replacement tire if your existing tires are worn. Our friendly team will also be glad to share more safe driving tips when you call or visit.
