Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The manufacturers' instructions for this type of spare tire.

A temporary-use spare tire must be used under the conditions set by its manufacturer, such as the maximum speed, the distance it can travel, and the inflation pressure. In the image, its label shows a maximum of 80 km/h. Even if it is approved, it is not designed to last as long as a regular tire.
