Is it illegal to change a spare tire by yourself on the highway?
1 Answers
You cannot change a spare tire by yourself on the highway. Even changing it in the emergency lane is not allowed, as both actions are considered illegal. Here is detailed information about car spare tires: 1. Overview: A spare tire refers to a backup tire for a car, with specifications typically matching those of the original car tires. Some vehicles use spare tires with special-colored rims, compact spares, folding spares, or run-flat tires to remind owners to inspect and replace faulty tires promptly. 2. Precautions: A spare tire is actually for emergency use and is not intended for long-term use. Regardless of its width, manufacturers have specific production and usage requirements for spare tires. Since spare tires are not used regularly and do not experience wear, an unworn tire is different from a heavily worn one. Using a spare tire on a vehicle inherently carries certain safety risks.
