Which direction should I turn the spare tire bolt?
1 Answers
Turn to the left, that is, counterclockwise to loosen the bolt; turn to the right, that is, clockwise to tighten the bolt. Types of spare tires: A full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. A non-full-size spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, so it can only be used as a temporary replacement. Run-flat tires, also known as safety tires or "anti-burst tires," are directly translated in the industry as "tires that can run without air." Compared to ordinary tires, run-flat tires will not leak air or leak very slowly when punctured, maintaining the driving profile, and the tire bead can remain fixed on the rim, ensuring the car can drive to a repair station for a long time or temporarily stably. Hidden dangers of spare tires: Spare tires are actually for emergency use, not for long-term use. Regardless of width, manufacturers have special production and usage requirements for spare tires. Since spare tires are not used for long periods on the vehicle and do not wear out, an unworn tire is different from a heavily worn tire. Using a spare tire on the vehicle inherently carries certain safety risks.
