Again curious are you old enough to drive or just a kid hide behind the monitor as a phantom web surfer having fun as a PCW. Do you really have knowledge of cars ?

To answer your question, spare tyre regardless of age is not meant for normal usage, it just an aid for you to get to the nearest tyre shop to repair your normal tyre, that how the spare tyre come about ?

Now quit spouting about the tyre exposing to heat and so fore, build up your knowledge before getting members here who are actually drivers to get hurt with your comments. Wake up kid. Sorry for being straight.

Dun have to be so hostile bro, the manual did state that tyre rotation is recommended at every 10k, including spare tyre, so its true that the spare tyre can be use. But of course, provided you didn't upgrade to bigger rims 
As for me, I am actually thinking of removing my spare tyre so yup, my spare tyre is only for driving me to the next tyre shop in case of emergency, touch wood

Dear forummers,

it is ok to discuss, exchange ideas and opinions. It won't be good to share wrong info, yes that i agree, but then again, that's where the others who know their can add in what they know to make right what's wrong. Herewith, discussions can take place, and forum interactivity levels will improve.

It is however, not quite acceptable to be personal. It might scare off others who would like to share, but scared of sharing due to personal attacks that may occur after he or she makes a post.

Let's try our best to be objective and neutral in our posts shall we? If any post or reply is wrong, pse correct the wrong, but in a diplomatic way. I certainly won't want to see TLC going thru online flamming again and then the moderators receive PMs about the situation.

Your co-operation is sought.

Thanks

u change 1 pc only.
stamford only have falken and Continental

I used the Falken as the spare...if change both for the front wah big hole in pocket

[MadMatty]

never go to stamford to change tires their price are out to chop carrot 1 why dun u use ur spare tire?

kena the nail at a spot where repair would be useless....so bo pian have to change a new one....wanted to go to my regular tire shop but no time so bo pian end up with stamford...

[MadMatty]

You should have used your spare tyre, since your car is only 3 mth old and tyre wear on other tyres are minimal.

If you changed only 1 tyre, it is dangerous to use different brand with different tyre thread pattern on the same axle.

Tyres should be ideally be replaced in pairs, of similar brand and model no.

yeah that why i decided to use the falken as spare....maybe later stage change both front to the same make...
