Does the Audi Q7 have a spare tire?
2 Answers
Audi Q7 is equipped with a non-full-size spare tire. The diameter and width of this spare tire are slightly smaller, so it can only be used as a temporary replacement and must be installed on non-driving wheels, with a maximum speed not exceeding 80km/h. Here is more information about spare tires: 1. Types of spare tires: Full-size spare tire, which has exactly the same specifications as the original car tires; Non-full-size spare tire, which has a slightly smaller diameter and narrower width than the regular tires; Run-flat tires, which are also called zero-pressure continuation tires or puncture-proof tires; Foldable spare tire. 2. The function of spare tires: A spare tire is a backup tire for a car, and its main purpose is to prevent the car from breaking down due to tire damage.
I remember when I first bought my Audi Q7, I was also puzzled as to why I couldn't find a spare tire in the trunk. Turns out, it came with a tire repair kit that included a compressor and sealant. This design really saves space, especially since an SUV's trunk needs to accommodate strollers, suitcases, and whatnot. Once, during a road trip, I had a flat tire on the highway, and I managed to temporarily inflate it using this kit to get to a service station, which saved me a lot of trouble. However, for long-distance driving, I'd recommend buying a portable spare tire just in case. Even though it's not included by the manufacturer, there are compatible models available on the market. Overall, most Q7 versions don't come with a traditional spare tire, so checking the vehicle manual is more reliable.
