There is more than one type of spare tire that you can use when your car has a flat. In most cases, the tire you'll find under the mat in the trunk of your car is a compact temporary spare, also called a "donut." These donut tires are smaller than a typical tire and are designed for limited use only. They help you get back on the road right away and take your car in for tire service.

Donut tires are limited in the speed that you can drive with them; regular highway speeds can be a challenge. Even more, long-term use of donuts can be a safety concern because they can interfere with vehicle systems like antilock braking or traction.

However, a full-size spare tire can easily be installed to protect your safe travels. McCafferty Hyundai sales, Inc. in Langhorne offers convenient, efficient tire replacement service for your vehicle.
