Default Bubble on tire (Falkens)

I have a bubble on one of my tires and I have 18k on them (Falkens). Would it be bad if I use my full size spare to drive long distances (over 750 miles). My spare has less than 100 miles on it. I also have Quattro.

Default but...

but if his falkens are a different size than his full size spare, he could mess himself up. bigwillie is right but only if your full size spare is the same size as your falken. if the diameter of the wheel is a different size, i'd say definitely no but if its just a matter of a different profile and/or width i'd still say don't drive it but would check with someone s-m-r-t smarter than me.

Default My biggest concern is that they have different tread patterns

My spare is continental.
