When did you last check your spare wheel?
Many motorists cannot remember ever having checked their spare wheel, so in the case of tyre failure, the shock is even greater and may involve a potentially costly mobile breakdown service. The tyre on the spare or emergency wheel is often flat or the wheel may need different bolts from the ones used on your alloy rims.

Tip:

• Check the tyre pressure on your spare wheel regularly!
• Make sure you have the right bolts with you for fitting.

Note!
The fact that the tyre on your spare wheel also needs to have the legally prescribed minimum tread depth of 1.6mm should really be obvious, but it is nevertheless worth mentioning.
