Spare Tire/Wheel Repai

I looking to have some repair work done on one of my wheels and the only option I have is to use the spare for the 2 days that the repair takes - does anyone know how far you should legitimately dirve on the spare?

You should be OK as long as you don't speed and drive like a maniac :-).

If its one of the front tires, I would swap one from the rear and have the spare in the back and the good ones in the front.

According to the Safety Notes / Warning given in the GLK Operators Manual: http://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/DigitalA...l/2010_glk.pdf
- is the spare wheel for temporary use only, and vehicle speed not to exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

I think the more interesting thing would be to see how the tire collapses back into the spare tire well. Hope all turn out OK.

It deflates OK. Got curious and had to give it a try - just in case
