Typically last Saturday afternoon after the tyre dealers shut a rear tyre picked up a large nail and went flat, bad puncture.
I put the spacesaver on and them defect tyre /rim in the boot. I have my wife using that car on short local stuff while I have swapped to her car for the 140km daily commute. We cant get to a tyre dealer till Friday pm due work committments as I want to replace the tyre with same brand and that dealer is too far from wifes work to get to dealer before close of business. Question Is it safe to run the spacesaver tyre daily under 60 kms a day and 80 km/hr for 5 days?????? |

Those tyrs are only designed to take you home/ or to a tyre shop.... running on them for a week is asking for trouble.
Those things are dangerous and affect the cars handling, moreso in the wet.

simply, a big no
have an accident and watch your insurance company wriggle out of the claim due to unroadworthy vehicle |

no they are emergency tyres at best if boot space is a premium maybe you should keep a full size spare in the garage.
personally I wouldn't have one at all. I got rid on mine in favour of a real spare
