What Should I Do If I Get a Flat?
If you notice that your vehicle has a flat tire, either by the sound on the surface of the road or the way the vehicle feels, pull over right away. Change the tire by loosening the lug nuts and jacking up the vehicle, removing the tire, hand tightening the lug nuts, and then dropping the vehicle back down. Finally, tighten the lug nuts with a wrench.
Can I Drive on a Spare Tire?
With a donut, you’ll have about 50 to 70 miles of range, and you won’t be able to safely achieve the same speed as with traditional tires. After you replace your flat tire, you should drive to the nearest service center. Keep in mind that spare tires typically have a maximum speed of 50 miles per hour, and they also have less traction.
How Do I Maintain a Spare Tire?
You want to give your spare the same attention and care you give to all your tires. After all, the last thing you want is to discover your spare is flat when you really need it. That means checking the pressure regularly and filling it up, as needed. You may even want to slot your spare tire into your tire rotation service.
