Default Spare tyres and maximum speed limits

Sounds as though someone has a bureaucratic rule saying all spare wheels
must have speed restriction sticker. Whether the manufacturer or the
evil insidious undemocratic EU. (In the latter case it's probably the UK
that proposed it.)


I have had two Octavia's. One deciding factor was the full size spare.
Both had full size alloys with full sized tyres.

The last one had no stickers. The current one has 50mph stickers on the
spare. I have no idea why.


Perhaps because when changing a wheel, you're only changing one of a
pair instead of both? Don't they recommend swapping only pairs from
back to front (rather than, say, just rotating all four by one position
clockwise)?


Problem with that line is that no one else has 50mph stickers on their full
sized spares.
