Spare wheels and winter tyres
I have a Honda Jazz. My summer tyres are Dunlop SP2030 185/55 R16s on original Honda alloy wheels, and my winter tyres are Nokian WR D3 175/65 R15 (Directional) on steel wheels (KFZ 7085).

If I purchase another steel wheel for emergency use only and fit an all season tyre such as a Vredestein Quatrac 3 175/65 R15 would it be safe and legal to use it with either the the summer or winter tyres?

Only as an emergency spare restricted to 50mph, as would be the case with a space-saver, or the standard size spare once fitted to a lot of Citroens.

Neatly styled. Increased room and better performance than original Jazz. More fun to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT.
