In the trunk of your vehicle, you may notice that there is an extra tire that can be used in emergency situations. It is possible that this tire will look the same as the others currently on your car. In such a scenario, you can simply replace the damaged tire with the one in the trunk and drive away.
A traditional tire should be rated to last for 20,000 miles or more, and it should also offer the same level of handling and traction as any other product that would be installed on your type of vehicle.
A compact tire can only be driven for between 50 to 75 miles at speeds of roughly 55 miles per hour. Compact tires are designed to give you time to get to a service center such as the one at Courtesy Lincoln in Portland, OR where you can buy a replacement product.
