Why do some cars not have a spare tire?
1 Answers
Not having a spare tire is because the car uses run-flat tires (also known as "puncture-proof tires"), which allow the vehicle to continue driving even if the tire loses all pressure. Here is some related information about spare tires: 1. Storage lifespan: A properly stored spare tire can be used for more than 6 years, but it must be replaced with a brand new one after 8 years. 2. Types of spare tires: Full-size spare tires, which are identical in specification to the original car tires; Non-full-size spare tires, which are slightly smaller in diameter and narrower in width compared to regular tires; Run-flat tires, which are also called "puncture-proof tires" or "tire pressure monitoring system tires"; Foldable spare tires.
