My car tires are P215/75R15.

My spare tire is T145/80D16. Yes that is a "T" and a "D".


I'll be going in circles if I ever have to use that spare tire, right? The diameter of the spare is smaller than the tires that are on the car now.

It is like a donut, it should work, just don't rely on it to drive you across the country. :)

Your car can drive fine temporarily without big fat tires.

But the diameter of the spare is considerably smaller than the mounted tire!

It'll be fine. Just dont drive on it for long distances or over 55mph.

Good thing my car came with a full size spare tire so I don't have to worry about it.
