This combination minimizes the space it takes up in the vehicle's trunk, making it easier to transport. However, it also means the tire cannot perform as well as a full sized spare tire can. The tire promotes a limited temporary performance when mounted on a vehicle, much like a donut spare tire. The performance speed is limited to 50 mph and the tire pressure must be 60 psi at all times. Compact or temporary spare tires do not offer as good of a performance as regular all season tires do, as a result, they should not be used in harsh weather.

The symmetric tread design with the angled tread block placement enhances the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, while the special tread detail also helps improve the traction in dry, wet and winter weather conditions. The all season compound keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile terrain surface conditions, boosting the year round driving safety. The tread design's circumferential and angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning and improving the wet and winter weather grip. However, these tires are not suited for harsh weather, as convenience spare tires are made for temporary use only.

The tire's smaller physical sizes pose a challenge to the vehicle's handling, but the maintained road contact manages to upgrade the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering is steady and precise in its response to the driver's commands throughout the vehicle's performance, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. This combination enhances the driver's control over the vehicle in versatile weather.
