If in Spain they say vuestro they don't use tú correct. Can someone please give me some example sentences using vuestro?

Vuestro is a possessive pronoun, and a possessive adjective. Hence: Vuestro can mean "your" and "yours" The difference can easily be determined when used in a sentence.

Nuestro proyecto es mejor que el vuestro. = Our project is better than yours (noun)

T-bone no es sólo vuestro perro, sino un miembro querido de vuestra familia. (adjective)

T-bone is not just your dog, but a loved member of your family.

Addition:

When the "owner" is one person, you use "tu". When the "owner" is more than one person, you use "vuestro"

Es tu problema, no me molestes. = It's your problem, don't bother me. (one person)

¡Me gusta vuestra mascota! = I like your mascot!

In Spain they use the vosotros form for you instead of ustedes. The tú form is also used in Spain, but it is singular, while vosotros is plural.

"Vuestro" means "your".
