Spare tire WARNING

[Jako]

Im planning to get a steel rim or random 18” wheel off ebay or CL and mount a used tires on it. At the end of the day i jisy need the tire to carry the same load as the other 4 and not leave me stranded.

Locally the spare is fine for my needs but on a recent trip (3,000 miles) I replaced the spare with the same tire/wheel. My spare limits the speed to 50 mph which to me creates a hazard on the interstates and particularly the 70 mph highways. Plus it buys me time to get the flat/damaged tire repaired or replaced.
