Many consumers are very concerned about the four tires in use, including daily inspections, four-wheel rotation and other related knowledge, but they ignore the maintenance of the spare tire of a Petrol Car. In fact, the spare tire of a Petrol Car that can help you in an emergency also requires us to take extra care of it in normal times. Don't take out the spare tire of a Petrol Car when a tire has an accident and find that it can no longer be used normally.

1. Regularly check the spare tire of a Petrol Car: Before daily maintenance or long-distance travel, the spare tire of the Petrol Car should be checked for wear or cracks. If it has been worn to the marking line, it should be replaced as soon as possible. If there are fine cracks on the sidewall, it cannot be used for long-distance running or high-speed travel, because the thinner tire sidewall is prone to tire blowout when working at high speed.
2. Stay away from corrosive items: Because the main component of the tire is rubber, and rubber is most afraid of corrosion by various oils. Some car owners often store similar oils such as lubricants in the trunk. When these oils get on the tires, they will cause a certain degree of erosion, which will greatly reduce the service life of the tires.
