2 Answers
The spare tire of the Buick GL8 business vehicle is located underneath the car. To remove the spare tire, follow these steps: 1. Open the trunk lid. 2. Pull the ring on the trunk floor to open the floor panel. 3. Remove the circular protective cover above the tire. 4. After removing the protective cover, you will see a fixed nut. 5. Unscrew the nut counterclockwise. 6. Once the nut is removed, you can take out the spare tire. Additional information about the spare tire: 1. The spare tire refers to the backup tire for the car, and its specifications are the same as the original car tire. 2. The spare tire is actually for emergency use and is not intended for long-term use. Regardless of its width, the manufacturer has specific production and usage requirements for the spare tire.
I've been driving this Buick GL8 for over three years and have actually encountered the spare tire issue. Its spare tire isn't under the trunk floor but hidden underneath the rear of the vehicle – you have to crawl under to see it. When I had a flat tire on the highway, I grabbed the jack and wrench to find the spare, only to discover you need an L-shaped hook inserted into a small hole in the rear bumper and turned clockwise to lower the spare. This design is actually quite reasonable, saving interior space while preventing dust and rust. However, I should mention that some newer GL8 Landus models have moved the spare to the middle underside, so it's best to confirm the model year first. Last time I helped a friend change a tire, we found the spare was underinflated – I recommend checking the tire pressure monthly to avoid being caught off guard in an emergency.
