Default Spare tyres and maximum speed limits

Got a flat. A simple swap, but the spare has 50MPH stickers on it.

So why would the spare wheel have a maximum speed limit of 50MPH on it
when it has the same sized tyre on it as the flat one? The only
difference I can see is that the spare is not an alloy wheel.

Are you sure that its the same size? At first glance my spare appears to
be the same size but on closer inspection I have 17 inch wheels on the
car and the spare is 16 inch (with the restricted speed warning stickers).




The 17 & 16 refer to the diameter of the *wheels* not the tyres...
