Can the spare tire of Tiggo 8 be replaced with a full-size one?
1 Answers
Yes, it can be replaced. Here are some precautions for using the spare tire: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire: The inspection mainly includes checking the tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Replace the tire as soon as possible if the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. If there are small cracks on the tire sidewall, avoid using it for long-distance or high-speed driving, as the sidewall is thinner and prone to blowouts at high speeds. 2. Do not store oil products with the spare tire: The main component of tires is rubber, which is most susceptible to erosion by various oil products. Many car owners often store lubricants and other oil products in the trunk. If these oils come into contact with the tire, they can cause swelling and corrosion, significantly reducing the tire's lifespan. If the tire gets contaminated with oil, promptly wash it off with a neutral detergent. 3. The lifespan of a spare tire is about 4 years: Since tires are rubber products, prolonged storage can lead to aging. The typical aging period for tires is around 4 years, so the spare tire should be replaced after this period.
