designed for temporary use only.
The vehicle will perform differently

spare can get caught on the rails
which can damage the tire, wheel,
and other parts of the vehicle.
Do not use the compact spare on
other vehicles.

wheel with other wheels or tires.
They will not fit. Keep the spare tire
and its wheel together.
