I'm also assuming that the donut spare is built heavy-duty, and that you won't be going fast enough for the improved aero of the skinnier tire to matter much.

But now you got me curious.
nah the artical is B.S sorry to say i run spares in the back all year around and first off, they last up to a year long and i pay 10 bucks each from the wreckers for them so thats 20 bucks per year cost driving can not be beat, Second* i use them in winter and believe it or not they are the best tire ive ever used they cut right threw the snow and ice, they are great in mud also, adn third if you dont believe me just watch this link http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...onomy-189.html

no cussing this is the truth right here just watch the vid i run these tires alll year around and no problems and i my self have calculated 4 mpg inrease and able to coste almost twice as long in neutral

yes youn are right watch this vid, this tells the truth
