I just popped a tire this week, was wondering a couple things
-Car is a 95 S14
-Spare is on front Left of car.
How fast should i be driving, (50mph? i hear) can somebody verify?
-Bumps,potholes? will this spare be able to dish it out? I have to drive this for a week till i get my new one put on this saturday.
Anybody have experiences? I'll be putting 200 miles on this spare this week.. any help is appreciated.

I have driven with one on a ford escort for about 300 miles. I was going 85mph trying to keep up with my crazy uncle cuz i didn't know where i was at. It lasted, but it was kinda scary. if you take it easy you should be alright.

don't do it, simply because i said so, and i have 3 stars while u only have 2.
ha ha <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> actually i believe it'll be terrable to drive that thing, such as steeringwheel might tilt to one side, and under breaking, your car will lean to one side. and you are not suppose to drive on your spare for a week... i don't think the spare is made for daily driving.
but if you are not doing any hardcore driving, i think u'll make it, but you are risking your car and your life... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'>

Yeah now that you say i'm not suppose to drive it for a week, i'm kinda afraid now.. i'll stay under 50mph, I don't drive my car too hardcore either so i think i'll be ok..
