Don't forget the spare wheel

Seasonal tire change usually occurs twice a year. At the same time, it is essential to evaluate not only the condition of the tires but also the condition of the spare wheel. Often, we remember about the spare wheel only when we need it. But often, it turns out that it has been unsuitable for use for a long time. In the best-case scenario, it may simply lose pressure and be unsuitable for immediate installation.

It's a completely different story when the spare wheel is located under the car's bottom. In this case, not only the pressure but also the overall condition of the wheel may be completely incompatible with use. The spare wheel should be checked for the recommended pressure at least once every 6 months, while the spare wheel under the car's bottom should also be checked for dirt and regularly washed from dirt and reagents, as they can have a detrimental effect not only on the rubber mixture of the tire but also on the paint coating of the disk.

Every six months, it is recommended to dismantle the spare wheel from the storage compartment, wherever it is, check it for the recommended pressure, and check for the absence of dirt, fuel, deposits, etc. In this case, the spare wheel will not fail when needed. A completely different question is — do you need a winter spare wheel?
