Hi,

I am sorry for asking this again as it my question was a little unclear and here it is more clear.

I had my car's one of the tire changed (rear) with goodyear viva-2 and other with (second rear wheel) spare tire (Goodyear Integrity) which is a brand new and was sitting in the trunk of my car. Is the spare tire ok or its just for spare and not for a long run?

Thanks for your time

The spare tires if it is of the correct size, can be used for long runs but if the age of the tire is too old, I would advise against it as tires do have a lifespan and can burst if the materials have deteriorated.
