Does the Roewe 550 have a spare tire?
2 Answers
Roewe 550 has a spare tire, and it is equipped with a full-size spare tire. A full-size spare tire means that the specifications of the spare tire are the same as those of the original car tire, which can provide a certain period of safe driving capability, but it takes up more trunk space. The Roewe 550 is SAIC's first model based on the DIS full-digital simulation development system. The car has a length, width, and height of 4648 mm, 1827 mm, and 1483 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2705 mm. In terms of appearance, the Roewe 550 adopts a brand-new styling style, with headlights and grille that are highly original and recognizable. The interior design is excellent, with a strong sense of technology, especially the digital instrument panel. The body proportions are more like a mid-size car with a sporty style, featuring a long engine compartment, a high waistline on the roof, and relatively inclined A-pillars and C-pillars.
My Roewe 550 has been running for seven years, and there's indeed a spare tire in the trunk, hidden under the floor panel. I remember checking it when I first bought the car - it's a compact non-full-size tire with an 80 km/h speed limit label. I always worry about needing to use it while driving, so during annual maintenance, I ask the mechanic to check its tire pressure. Once during winter, I had a flat tire in the countryside, and this spare tire got me to the repair shop. But I must remind you that spare tire rubber naturally ages; even if unused, consider replacing it after about five years. The car comes with a jack and wrench in the toolkit - it's best to practice removing wheel nuts beforehand so you won't panic in an emergency.
