RANGE

Modern Spare does not specify a range limit for our spare tires. We have set a design goal to provide a spare tire capable of getting you where you need to go, rather than just a limiting 50 miles down the road. While you should never depend on a spare for long-term use like a regular tire, using it for 100 or even 200 miles when you have a failed tire is perfectly reasonable.

SPEED

Modern Spare exclusively uses tires with a DOT “M” speed rating. This M rating signifies that the tire is tested and rated to operate at a constant speed of up to 81 mph. However, this does not mean you should drive at 81 mph with your spare mounted. In fact, some manufacturers, like Continental, indicate that the speed should not exceed 50 MPH, despite the official M speed rating.

Due to the narrower size of the tire compared to your regular tires, changes in your vehicle’s braking and handling characteristics are to be expected. Although the tire carries the M speed rating, we recommend driving with caution and safety in mind when using the spare. 

Has the global trade uncertainty affected Modern Spare in terms of inventory and price increases?

Yes and no –

Since our humble beginnings in 2016, relying on single manufacturing partners—and more so, partners in some countries that are vulnerable to trade conflict—is something we have avoided. This has proven effective over the years, and we hope it will help us navigate what may come in 2025.

We don’t anticipate significant price increases, if any, in the coming months. The real challenge may be disruptions in global shipping later in 2025 that delay shipments and put strain on inventories.

Thankfully, we’re well stocked now, and most new orders are being shipped out immediately.

Consider this:

If you are thinking of purchasing a spare tire, now may be a good time—just in case the supply disruptions cause delays or lengthy inventory issues.

If you have questions on this or need help selecting the right kit, our spare tire experts are available by phone or email.

Thank you,
