Mini Spare Tire

A mini spare tire, often referred to as a "donut," is a compact, lightweight tire designed to be an emergency, temporary replacement for a flat or damaged tire on a vehicle. The size and type of a mini spare tire vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, but they are generally smaller and narrower than regular tires. The reduced size allows them to be stored easily in a vehicle's trunk, saving space and weight. These tires are typically not intended for long-term use or high-speed driving, as they can affect the vehicle's handling and fuel efficiency. It is recommended to replace it with a full-sized tire as soon as possible. The specific spare tire size recommended for a particular vehicle can typically be found in the vehicle's owner's manual or printed on the spare tire itself.
