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 &nbsp;<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. &nbsp;and you are not suppose to drive on your spare for a week... &nbsp;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, &nbsp;I don't drive my car too hardcore either so i think i'll be ok..
