Temporary Spare Tyre

Inspect the temporary spare tyre at least monthly to make sure it is properly inflated and stored.

 


The temporary spare tyre condition gradually deteriorates even if it has not been used.

Close Note
View Note

The temporary spare tyre is easier to handle because of its construction which is lighter and smaller than a conventional tyre. This tyre should be used only for an emergency and only for a short distance.

 

Use the temporary spare tyre only until the conventional tyre is repaired, which should be as soon as possible.

 

Refer to Tyre (Search).

 


  • Do not use your temporary spare tyre rim with a snow tyre or a conventional tyre. Neither will properly fit and could damage both tyre and rim.

  • The temporary spare tyre has a tread life of less than 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The tread life may be shorter depending on driving conditions.

  • The temporary spare tyre is for limited use, however, if the tread wear solid-band indicator appears, replace the tyre with the same type of temporary spare (Search).
