How to Inflate the Spare Tire of an Audi A5?

[OLayla]

Audi A5 spare tire can be inflated using the onboard air pump when needed. Precautions for using the spare tire: 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 once 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. Do not store oil products with the spare tire. The main component of tires is rubber, which is most susceptible to erosion by various oil products. Car owners often 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. The lifespan of a spare tire is about 4 years. Many car owners believe that as long as the spare tire is kept unused in the trunk, it can last for a long time. It is common to encounter situations where a car owner, after a flat tire, tries to use the spare tire only to find it severely aged and unusable after years of storage. Since tires are rubber products, prolonged storage can lead to aging, typically around 4 years. Therefore, the spare tire should be replaced after 4 years.
