Check the tire pressure in your SPARE TIRE,I checked mine and it was flate.How pissed would you be if you get a flate tire and you go to put on your spare and its flate too.btw to tire pressure should be 60psi.

 

 

The spare is a fairly strong sidewall. For a short trip I would use it flat if needed before driving on my dd tires.

Just make sure you torque it goodintight...

 

Just make sure you use a calibrated elbow for that!

 

brilliant thread about common sense

 

indeed - however, realistically, how often does the 'average' motorist think of checking on the spare?

 

i couldnt' get to my spare if I wanted to without pulling out some tools and an hr work.

 

How pissed? If you ask my son, TOTALLY. He recently experienced a blowout on the car he drives 2 days after I first told him he had a low tire. Apparently he paid attention when I showed him how to use the jack and change a tire so I had pity on him and only had him pay for one of the new tires I had to buy.

 

just told my girl about this and her reply

"every time you rotate your tires you check the spare for air. I'm a girl and I knew that"

 

LOL



I don't check my spare tire ever, because it sits in a dark corner of my garage with the jack and tire iron. I will pay the price for this 30lb weight reduction one day I'm sure.

 

I read this and farted in my chair with joy.
















now that i said this, ill get a flat on the way to work, have to pull the subs and find out its low on air.

 

Spares no longer work on my car
