Default How long can I go on with the Spare Tire?

Well I had a 4 inch screw mess up one of my tires and I need to replace it. I ordered a whole new set of tires but they wont be in til a couple of days. I am wondering how long I could drive with the spare.

Is it safe to drive with the spare on the freeway for a couple of days til I get my new tires?

Read your owner manual. It believe you are only supposed to go about 50 miles on that mini tire.......

i think you have to keep it under 50 mph also

they paint it bright yellow to make it an eyesore and have you replace it asap
