So I drive a 2023 ford bronco sport big bend. I’m about 350 miles from home and tomorrow is thanksgiving so nothing will be open. Heading home on Saturday morning. Ran over a huge pot hole right before arriving at the campground we’re staying at and it appears the front right tire is leaking air. I’ve filled it back up and it deflates over the course of about half an hour down to 20 and so on. Have not seen it completely deflate yet but I assume it will.
I have the tow package that supposedly comes with a full sized spare. Should I put on the spare and see about getting it fixed on Friday? Or will the full sized spare safetly get me home and fix it then? Any advice would be appreciated. I’ve seen people saying you can drive normally with one and others say only about 100 miles so I’m kind of lost here.
Nope. The wheel doesn’t really impact. It’s mostly cosmetic. I suppose if you’re really pushing the limits of the car you could argue the weight of a steel wheel compared to an alloy wheel has some impact. But that’s only going to apply to something like 1% of owners, if even that much.
