Spare wheel (full-size vs space saver)

A full-size spare is the same size as the other tyres and can replace one for as long as needed. A space saver is a narrower temporary spare meant only to get you to a tyre shop, at a limited speed marked on it. Some cars carry only a puncture repair kit and no spare at all.
