As long as it fits on the car, yes. But, your car will not be up to a wof standard with mismatched tyre sizes.

Thanks for that.Just wanted confirmation. Spare has obviously never been used as it and the rim look brand new

I think they call that a "Space Saver Tyre" even tho it isn't like the traditional really small tyres.But just treat it like one.Use to get you to the nearest repair place, and restrict speed to 80kph.:-)

If the vehicle (which yours probably isn't) is AWD then it can present possible problems. On FWD's like your Accord if the puncture is in a front wheel, remove a rear wheel and fit it where the punctured tyre was and fit the spare to the rear.

There is a 0.5% difference, not a worry, it is not a spacesaver at that size

If it's a different circumference then beware - your car will be forever turning in circles and forcing you to do U turns.

The beauty of these boggling engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and simplicity of touching that allows developers to implement plush knowledge and e28098skine28099 the place in such a way that with rattling less effort one would never mark what it is making the parcel ticktock all without limiting proportionality and effectivity.

I'm impressed, I need to say. Actually not often do I entnuocer a weinformation that's each educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you've got hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the issue is something that not enough persons are talking intelligently about. I'm very joyful that I stumbled throughout this in my search for one thing relating to this.
