135/80R18 Kumho Temporary Spare 104M

Temporary Spare All-Season

The Kumho Temporary Spare is a T-type compact ("donut") spare tire, not a performance or daily-driver product — it exists purely to get a vehicle safely to a repair facility after a flat, blowout, or puncture disables one of the car's regular tires. Kumho is a longtime OE tire supplier to major automakers, and temporary spares like this one are built to the automaker's specified fitment so they stow in the factory spare well and mount directly on the vehicle's compact steel spare wheel. Compared to a full-size tire, it uses a narrower tread and smaller rolling diameter to save weight and cargo space, while its full-width molded tread is designed for short-term traction rather than long-term wear. Sidewall markings clearly state the temporary-use speed limit (commonly 80 km/h / 50 mph) and mileage restriction, and drivers should replace the flat tire or return to their standard fitment as soon as possible rather than treating the spare as a long-term replacement. This tire is best suited to owners of the specific vehicle platforms it was engineered for as an OE-matched spare, not to shoppers looking for a everyday commuter or performance tire.
