Can the spare tire be used if the front tire is flat?
1 Answers
The spare tire can be used to replace a flat front tire. Here is the relevant information about car spare tires: Concept of spare tires: A spare tire refers to the backup tire for a car, and its specifications are usually the same as those of the original car tires. However, some vehicles may use spare tires with special-colored rims, compact spare tires, folding spare tires, or run-flat tires to remind the owner to inspect and replace the faulty tire in time. Types of spare tires: There are three types of spare tires: full-size spare tires, non-full-size spare tires, and run-flat tires. Full-size spare tires have the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the car and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size spare tires have slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, so they can only be used as a temporary replacement and are limited to non-drive wheels. Run-flat tires, also known as safety tires or commonly referred to as "puncture-proof tires," are officially termed "tires that can run without air pressure" in the industry.
