How far can I drive on the spare?

2020 DCSB with full size spare. Got a flat about 4 hours from home. How far can I drive on it?

 

It's not a temporary, you can drive to alaska, just don't pick up any more nails.

 

Forever. There are some people running 4 of the steelies from spares on their rigs.

 

do you have larger tires compared to spare? did u upgrade? the spare is full size for stock,, if you have larger tires, would avoid driving it in the rear so the diff is not stressing. if you put it upfront its at least free spinning, but you might have a lil wheel pull do to tire size

 

I guess the answer is as far as you have to.

 

Tacomas come with a FULL SIZED spare, it's not a donut tire on other cars. Meaning you can drive as far as you want and as fast (as long as the tire permits it) as you want.

Most guys that own Taco's rotate their tires and include the spare in the tire rotation.

 

If it matches. I didn't till I bought 5 matching wheels.

 

The spare tire is in same size as the rest of tires you have them on. You can go forever with it... but I suggest that you get flat tire fixed before the spare tire get punched with a nail or something.

Some cars have small tire than the factory size tires which is different story.. means you can't go fast with it on.

 

Agreed. A lot of people upgrade their tires. I haven't. So my spare matches (probably?) the rest of my tires.

 

Newer models its not a sure thing, take a look at the tire model next time you think of it. Some have Toyos or Firestones. It's odd.

 

Mine did not, the spare was a Hankook 245/75/16 with the stock tires being Toyo 265/65/17. Same diameter so no issue when used as a spare but not the same for looks if you wanted to swap it in.

 

I had no idea it would be a different brand. Thanks for the education on this. I only care that it's the same size/diameter. So no issues when driving on it.

***EDIT*** Ha! I just checked mine. It's the same brand/size/etc...

 

Got it, all set! Thanks all!

 

I just meant the wheel itself. I don't have 5 steelies, so I wouldn't want to rotate in an odd duck. I'm guessing you mean you have your spare tire remounted to one of the alloy wheels then?

 

Until you get another flat.

 

I don't know. Hey let's ask Mr. wise ole owl!!!
