How to Use a Car Spare Tire for Beginners
1 Answers
Methods for beginners to use a car spare tire: 1. Regularly check the spare tire: During routine maintenance or before long-distance trips, inspect the spare tire for wear or cracks. If it has worn down to the indicator line, it should be replaced as soon as possible. 2. Replace expired tires periodically: Tires are rubber products and will age over time, typically with an aging period of about 4 years. 3. Do not use the spare tire for an extended period: Due to its infrequent use, the spare tire has different friction coefficients compared to the other four tires. Additionally, non-full-size spare tires differ in aspect ratio, width, or diameter from regular tires. Prolonged use can adversely affect the vehicle's braking system, steering system, and suspension system, posing safety hazards. It may also cause uneven friction among other tires in the same direction.
