In the case of the Omega, the spare is a size which was standard factory fit as road wheels on earlier lower spec models

What makes them unsuitable for higher speeds isn't a tyre issue, it's the fact that that 'spare' tyre is a completely different size to the other three tyres, both in width and sidewall, so less lateral grip (narrower tread and alot more give in the sidewalls) than even a 225/55/16 shod car...

In the scheme of things, the Omega fares quite well in this regard, some space savers wouldn't look out of place on a 2cv

Don't know what you mean?

Haha. Apologies, I didn't see your post.
