I have not bothered to calculate the difference in rolling circumference, if any, between the space saver spare and the stock tire size but the list of items affected would indicate there may be a slight size difference.
Those provisions were more likely written by lawyers than by engineers, just btw.

Written by engineers with input for the lawyers. You can disregard it all you want it is there in black and white.
There is more at play than just circumference and to isolate it and say "same diameter so all is good". just does not fly (unless of course you just driving in a perfectly straight line I suppose).
