The spare tire of the Buick GL8 is located in the lower right part of the trunk and can be seen by opening the trunk lid. A spare tire refers to the backup tire for a car, with specifications identical to those of the original car tire. Precautions for using the spare tire include: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire; 2. It should not be used for an extended period; 3. The spare tire should not be involved in tire rotation; 4. Avoid storing it with oil products. The Buick GL8 is a 5-door, 7-seater MPV with body dimensions of 5238 mm in length, 1878 mm in width, and 1776 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3088 mm. The Buick GL8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 174 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. It features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
As a long-time owner of the Buick GL8, I've been driving this car for almost five years. The spare tire is located directly underneath the center of the chassis, requiring the use of the onboard jack and wrench tools to crawl underneath and remove the bracket screws. Once when I was traveling in the countryside, I suddenly had a flat tire and realized the location is somewhat hidden—you need to engage the handbrake and set up warning signs to ensure safety first. I also recommend regularly checking the spare tire's air pressure to avoid finding it flat when needed. The spare tire in this car is full-sized and quite durable, but prolonged storage can still lead to aging and cracking. When replacing it, operate steadily and avoid rushing, especially on elevated areas or slopes, which can be more dangerous. Regular cleaning of the undercarriage can prevent rust and spare tire jamming. These lessons have saved me a lot of trouble.
