Wrangler's spare tire is full-size. Full-size spare tire: The specifications of a full-size spare tire are exactly the same as the four original tires on the vehicle, allowing it to replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. 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. Notes on using the spare tire: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire. Few car owners check the spare tire during routine maintenance or before long trips, and some unprofessional repair shops often overlook this. Spare tire inspection mainly involves checking tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Tires should be replaced before 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. Do not store oil products with the spare tire. The main component of tires is rubber, which is highly 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. 3. 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 indefinitely, which is incorrect. It's common for car owners to find that when they need to use the spare tire after a blowout, the spare tire has severely aged over years of storage and is no longer usable.
