Does the Roewe 550 have a spare tire?

[FelixLynn]

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.

The Roewe 550 comes standard with a spare tire across all trim levels, which is stored in the bottom layer of the trunk. You can see it by lifting the mat. Last year, when I helped a friend look at a used car, I specifically noticed this point—the spare tire well of the 550 is designed quite neatly, with the tire-changing tools clipped beside it. The spare tire is basically a space-saver, with a diameter slightly smaller than the original tires. After installation, the car body may tilt slightly. It's fine for temporary emergencies, but never use it as a normal tire for long-distance driving—it should be replaced after driving no more than a hundred kilometers or so. It's recommended to check the spare tire pressure monthly, especially before highway trips. I make a habit of noting the spare tire's psi value in my phone's memo, as rubber tires slowly losing air is all too common.

Roewe 550 owners don't need to worry, there's definitely a spare tire. Just lift the trunk floorboard, and you'll find a small black tire fixed in the middle. But this little guy is only for emergencies - it's narrow and clearly marked with a maximum speed of 80 km/h. I remember one time when I had a flat tire late at night, after changing to the spare I didn't dare exceed 60 km/h - the bumpiness was particularly noticeable. New owners should check the production date of the spare tire first - there's a four-digit code on the tire sidewall. For spares over six years old, the rubber has basically hardened and they're barely usable even for emergencies. Usually cover it with waterproof cloth to prevent car wash water from soaking it. Make sure all tire-changing tools are complete - missing an anti-theft bolt socket would be troublesome.

Just studied the Roewe 550's spec sheet a couple days ago - this model does come with a spare tire. It's hidden under the trunk mat, usually a compact temporary one that's about one-third lighter than a regular tire. Note though many new cars have eliminated spares nowadays, while older models like the 550 retain this traditional design. The spare tire well also houses a warning triangle and jack, with everything fitting snugly in place. Some owners report the spare's steel wires rust easily, so coastal drivers should apply anti-rust grease. Changing a spare takes about 20 minutes, but never skip safety steps: engage parking brake, use wheel chocks, and turn on hazard lights - every procedure matters.
