I have put alloy wheels on my car which are 15" rims with 195/60 R15 tyres on.
The previous standard steel wheels were 14" with 175/60 R14 tyres on.
My spare is the 14" standard wheel.
Over the weekend coming back from the lakes I had a flat tyre on one of my alloys and replaced it with the spare and thought that since it's only another 50 miles home I would drive at a lower speed of between 40 - 50mph.
A couple of friends of mine were saying that this isn't road legal and I never thought about it until now.
Any opinions and advice is appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
