How Many Kilometers Can a Spare Tire Generally Travel?
1 Answers
There is no clear regulation on how far a car's spare tire can travel, but it cannot be used for a long time and has speed restrictions. Car spare tires are divided into full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. Full-size spare tires can generally travel more than 100 kilometers, with a speed not exceeding 80 kilometers per hour, while non-full-size spare tires should not exceed 60 kilometers and a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Spare tires cannot be used as normal tires. Non-full-size spare tires are smaller than normal tires to reduce weight and save space, making it easier for car owners to distinguish between normal tires and spare tires. Therefore, non-full-size spare tires cannot be used as normal tires. Although full-size spare tires are the same size as normal tires, many parameters, such as load capacity and speed, are different from normal tires. Precautions: Spare tires should be used for a maximum of 4 years. As rubber products, spare tires will age over time, with an aging cycle generally around 4 years. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the spare tire every four years. In daily maintenance, many repair shops overlook the maintenance of spare tires, and some car owners rarely check their spare tires before long trips. Hence, whether for daily maintenance or long-distance travel, car owners should perform a 'major maintenance' on the spare tire, checking mainly for normal tire pressure and small cracks on the tire side.
