Has anyone driven with the factory supplied space saver spare wheel fitted on the front? Reason I ask is a member in Fabia sub-forum discovered that the Space Saver they had did not clear the large front discs so had to be fitted on the rear so a full size wheel could replace the defective wheel/tyre on the front.

I'm inclined to think that it would be safer to have a matched pair on the front and the space saver on the back. I have fitted the space saver on the front when swapping wheels front to back but never actually driven the KAroq like that.

Because of the difference in rolling circumference between the space-saver and normal tyre, if nothing else, I would have thought that any use on the front would increase stress on the differential. So is probably only recommended for very short duration
