Understanding the difference between a compact temporary and a full-size spare tire is essential to helping Brentwood drivers be prepared. The team at BMW of Nashville is happy to share our knowledge with our customers, so here's what you should know.

If convenient use is your priority, a full-size spare would probably be your choice. it can be used much like a regular tire. However, it won't fit in smaller automobiles and does take up a lot of trunk space.

A compact temporary spare, commonly called a donut, easily fits in small cars and its light weight won't affect your vehicle's performance when hauling it. However, it does have a number of limitations when in use. A donut isn't appropriate for large vehicles. It also isn't meant to go long distances or fast speeds. You'll want to take care to have it replaced in a timely manner.
