How to Drive with a Space Saver Wheel?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Wheel

Video tutorial

Today, when cars have a spare wheel, it is not a normal wheel but a "space saver", and therefore the way to drive with a space saver is not the same as with a standard wheel. The speed limit is clearly marked on the rim, which is 50 mph. When driving with a space saver fitted, the car tends to widen the corners and pull more to the left.

Just taking a corner at 37 mph will make the vehicle feel less controllable. If you have space in the boot and are willing to spend a bit of money, nothing stops you from equipping yourself with a standard tyre.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
