    How long can you ride on the factory full-size spare? The rim says temporary use only, but it's not a donut so I'm curious what it's actually supposed to be rated for. Thanks for any insight.

    It's a full sized rim and tire that can be used as long as you like. It says "temporary use only", because it doesn't have the TPMS sensor.

    Agreed, plus it helps to remind the owner to get their flat fixed asap so that they always have a dedicated spare on hand.

    Working on it.
    And it is on an ugly steel wheel to encourage the user to replace the damaged tire.:puke:
