An unexpected coincidence, I have been looking for a thread on driving on space savers. I had a puncture yesterday on the front nearside after hitting a pot hole on our V40. I replaced it with the space saver and had problems driving on it. The punctured wheel was 225/45/R18 and the space saver R16. The car would drive okay, then start to pull the steering to the left, the pull increasing over a short distance before it would release and go back to a straight line. A novice or nervous driver would not have been happy driving with the problem. It gave the feeling of something binding up, hitting a limit and jumping out.
I had the tyre replaced and the car feels fine but I am concerned that there could have been damage to the drive train somewhere. Does anyone know?
