How Long Can a Spare Tire Be Used?
1 Answers
Spare tires can generally be used for about 4 years. A car's spare tire is not suitable for long-term use. Although it hasn't been driven for a certain mileage, like regular tires, spare tires are rubber products with a limited lifespan. If stored for too long, they can age, significantly affecting their performance. Relying solely on the spare tire's lifespan is somewhat hasty; the final decision should be based on the actual condition of the spare tire. If the tread shows obvious cracks or the rubber has hardened, it indicates severe aging of the spare tire. Continuing to use it without addressing these issues may lead to a tire blowout.
