<VV> Was-Space Saver Spare/Now-Dangerous Tires and Dangerous Posts

[corvairduval at cox.net]

What deadly advise did John offer?

He offered three sources to read about space savers so one could do
research and make up their own mind. Like you did.

His last words are " the dry grip was not impressive!!"

Also, he was talking about a special case of ALL FOUR tires being space
savers, therefore a matched set.

You are talking about one space saver, that is the intended use, and
therefore not what the Car and Driver article addressed.

Dear VV,
 
Please excuse the length but someone has offered  potentially deadly advice 
and it needs to be addressed.

Given there seems to be more  folklore than fact, here's some informed

I  can't find it, but Car and Driver, well over 20 years ago, did skid pad 
tests  with a couple of cars with 4 space saver donuts each. They were 
surprised how  well they did, but then again, they were expecting (as was
I) to 
have a really  poor handling car. The handling was fine, the dry grip was
not 
 impressive!!
