If you've put on a donut (temporary) spare, you're probably wondering how far you can drive on it. The short answer: not far, and not fast. Houston Mobile Tire can replace your flat with a full-size tire wherever you are.
A donut spare is designed for temporary, limited use — typically up to about 70 miles and no faster than 50 mph. It's meant to get you to a tire service, not to drive on for days.
Donut spares are smaller, have less traction and tread, and can affect your braking, handling, and even your vehicle's systems if used too long. They're a get-you-going solution only.
Rather than drive around on a donut, call us — we bring a full-size replacement tire to your location and install it, so you're back to safe, normal driving.
