Can a Spare Tire Be Used Long-Term?

[KendraFitz]

A spare tire cannot be used indefinitely. A spare tire refers to the backup tire for a car, which has the same specifications as the original car tire. Precautions for using a spare tire include: Regularly inspect the spare tire; it should not be used for an extended period; the spare tire should not be involved in tire rotation; avoid storing it near oil products. Placement locations: Spare tires are categorized into full-size spare tires, non-full-size spare tires, and run-flat tires. Depending on the vehicle model, they are usually placed under the trunk floor, hung beneath the rear of the car, or fixed outside the trunk door. The method for replacing a spare tire is: Remove the spare tire, jack, and tire wrench from the trunk; place the jack on the chassis support and slowly raise the car body, placing the tire pad under the car; use the wrench to remove the bolts of the tire that needs to be replaced and take off the tire; align the spare tire with the axle and bolt holes, then tighten the tire bolts.
