How to Inflate the Spare Tire of an Audi A5?
1 Answers
The spare tire of an Audi A5 can be inflated using a portable car air pump when needed. Precautions for using the spare tire: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire. During routine maintenance or before long trips, few car owners check their spare tires, and some unprofessional repair shops often overlook this. Spare tire inspection mainly involves checking tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Replace the tire as soon as possible if the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. If there are fine cracks on the tire sidewall, avoid long-distance or high-speed driving, as the sidewall is thinner and more prone to blowouts at high speeds. 2. Keep oil products away from the spare tire. The main component of tires is rubber, which is highly susceptible to erosion by various oil products. Many car owners store lubricants and other oil products in the trunk, and if these oils come into contact with the tire, they can cause swelling and corrosion, significantly reducing the tire's lifespan. If the tire gets stained with oil, promptly wash it off with a neutral detergent. 3. The lifespan of a spare tire is about 4 years. Many car owners believe that as long as the spare tire remains unused in the trunk, it can last for a long time. It is common for car owners to find that the spare tire has severely aged and become unusable after years of storage when they need to replace a flat tire. Since tires are rubber products, prolonged storage leads to aging, typically around 4 years. Therefore, the spare tire should be replaced after 4 years.
