In the uk that would still be classed as a space saver ( due to different size across axle) and subject to a 50 mph speed limit.

Ah I didnt know that, I run staggered 295/30/20 rear and 275/30/20 front, I guess then in the UK both my front tyres would be classed as spacesavers, or is that rule axle specific ?..

Only across axle staggered front to rear is fine.

I would trust my spare over 50, dunno if I would trust a space saver though. My insurance company or the law might see it differently though... :whistle:

My old A4 Est had an alloy spare, but not the same size as the road wheel. Shirl's old Eos is the same.

An E46 space saver is fine. They live in the boot so don't end up a rusty mess.
