Space saver tyre

(1/1)

pauls:
Could somebody please advise.
I have 235/45/19 on the front and 255/40/19 on the back. I noticed that the space saver is t135/90/17. If i had a flat either on the front or back could i use this space saver without causing any damage to transfer boxs or diffs. Car is a bmw x3.
I have looked on a couple of different sites and the tyre radius is ok but iam more worried about any damaged to could cause.

Doctor Gollum:
As long as the rolling radius is the same, you'll be fine  :y

Obviously it won't drive as well and check the manual/dealer to confirm that it's suitable for either end... Suspect it's rear only for stability reasons  :-\

Andy B:
if the spare's radius is the same as those on the car & is the spare originally supplied, I can't see a problem ... after all, the spare is only intended as a temporary/get you home wheel.  :y
