hello!

 

Im happy owner of -06 1,9tdi 4x4 estate octavia. I use spiked wintertyres 195-65-15. Now my question is can I use summer tyre as "spare tyre" ( car deliverd only with smal compressor and leak fix fluid)? Sommer tyres are size 205-55-16 or is there a risk of "transmission wind up" like i Land Rovers?

 

thankfull for any help!

- Optimal traction during acceleration.
- No functional problems with tyres having uneven wear,
- pressure or size (mini spare).
