my missus has had a blowout at her mums 150 mile away, shes there for weekend and has a spacesaver on at moment,

how safe is it to drive 150 mile on motorway on a spacesaver???

just put 4 new Uniroyal rainsport on about 500 mile ago, and cant get one anywhere near her till Tuesday, but has to be back home for Monday, and I don't want to go putting odd tires on if I can help it..... so she might have to drive home on spacesaver if its safe to do so :scared:



Also if anyone knows a garage in Stratford upon avon, cv37, that has a 205 45 17 Uniroyal rainsport 2 in stock, then I will be your bestist bestist friend forever !!:laugh:

Usually bout 40-50 mph which isnt really ideal on a motorway.if it's a front I'd swap it with a rear.

Maybe find a local part worn supplier and stick something cheap on for the trip back.
