How To Use And Maintain a Spare Tyre

It is very important to have a spare tyre in the car in case of a problem on the road. This is useful if the vehicle's tyres develop problems such as punctures or leaks on road conditions far from the workshop. If you have a spare tyre, you can continue your journey even if you are far from the workshop.

Spare tyres are usually smaller, thinner and lighter than normal tyres. This spare tyre is only used for emergencies and urgent situations and is not recommended for continuous use as it can affect the car's performance.

So how do you use and maintain a spare tyre to keep its quality, even if it is rarely used? Read the following advice!

How to use a spare tyre in an emergency

A spare tyre is prepared for emergencies. This spare tyre is usually placed at the back of the vehicle, which is covered with a cover to protect the quality of the tyre. If you want to use it, you need to open the spare tyre cover before using it.

Although it looks simple, using a spare tyre should not be done at random. You need to be aware of the following tips and know how to use a spare tyre safely.

1. Understanding the spare tyre according to the type of car

Each type of vehicle usually has a different type of spare tyre, depending on the type. You need to know that this spare tyre should only be used in an emergency, not for everyday use. This is because the spare tyre has a different tread and wear pattern to the standard tyre fitted by the manufacturer.

2. Avoid driving too fast

When using a spare tyre, you should not drive the car as fast as when using a normal tyre. When driving a car with a spare tyre, it's a good idea to avoid speeds above 80 km/h.

3. Limit mileage

Each type of car usually has a durability specification for the distance that can be driven with a spare tyre. We recommend that you do not use the spare tyre beyond the mileage specified in the owner's manual. Forced use can cause damage to the car such as pressure on the differential and l, gears to the clutch which is damaged.

4. Spare tyres affect car control

Before using a spare tyre, you must also be aware that using a spare tyre can affect the car's control. The greatest influence is when braking and cornering.

5. Check the condition of the spare tyre regularly

Although it is rarely used, car owners must check the condition of the spare tyre regularly, especially when travelling long distances. You must check that the tyre pressure is always in good condition, including the physical condition of the spare tyre, to ensure that it is always ready for use in an emergency.
