Where is the spare tire for a new car?
1 Answers
Car spare tires are generally placed under the trunk mat, while some vehicles have the spare tire mounted on the rear of the car, and others position it beneath the chassis. Concept of a spare tire: A spare tire refers to the backup tire for a passenger car, typically matching the specifications of the original vehicle tires. However, some vehicles may use spare tires with special-colored rims, compact spares, foldable spares, or run-flat tires to remind owners to promptly inspect and replace faulty tires. Types of spare tires: There are three types of spare tires: full-size spares, non-full-size spares, and run-flat tires. A full-size spare has identical specifications to the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. A non-full-size spare has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, making it suitable only for temporary use and exclusively for non-drive wheels. Run-flat tires, also known as safety tires or colloquially as 'bulletproof tires,' are officially termed 'tire pressure monitoring tires' in the industry.
