donut tire roue de secours

Explanation:

En pleine nuit noire, j'ouvre le coffre (qui, bien entendu, n'a pas de lampe interne, ça serait trop simple !) Et pars a la recherche de la roue de secours. Je soulève le tapis, et tombe sur une sorte de grosse assiette noire !

Non bon j'exagère un peu... mais la roue de secours, le "donut", comme ils l'appellent se trouvait la.

donut tire roue galette

Explanation:
C'est une roue plus petite que la roue normale du véhicule avec laquelle on peut faire une cinquantaine de kilomètres je crois. C'est une appellation possible.

donut tire Note

Explanation:
Bien que le GDT ait effectivement une entrée "pneu de secours compact", le terme est quasiment inusité et techniquement inexact. Un "donut tire" n'est pas un pneu mais une roue complète et on rencontre d'ailleurs les termes "roue de secours compacte" et "mini roue de secours" dans tous les pays francophones.

Mais c'est le terme imagé "roue galette" qui l'emporte au niveau de l'usage en Europe et il est en train de se faire son trou au Canada.
