Spare Tyres Gold Coast
Every vehicle on the road should have an efficient spare tyre accompanying the knowledge of the driver to change in the scenario of a flat tyre; along with the tools to do so. The driver should establish if they need a space-saver or temporary use tyre; pending location or fully equipped tyre on board if they see themselves driving a remote route.
Space Saver spare tyres will only get you to your nearest mechanic and are not the best for highway driving. They should only be used in a situation where the tyre is the only option. Full-sized spares are not a common addition to new cars however we recommend you store one in your vehicle. If you are traveling with time restrictions such as to work, driving in a remote area, off-road or embarking on a road trip a full-sized spare that is compatible with the other fitted wheels of the vehicle is a must.
Yet, too many drives go without a spare tyre at all or monitor the state of their spare.
The quality of a spare tyre does not stay consistent particularly when stored in a hot car over time. It will need to be habitually checked and eventually replaced. If a punctured tyre is replaced with the spare, you should replace the stored spare tyre immediately.
The cost and safety of not following a system of spare tyre replacement on and off the vehicle could be damaging to both your bank account and wellbeing. Without a spare tyre the out of pocket cost could be significant however we recommend Movin Mobile Mechanical Gold Coast. You may be risking your safety waiting for a tow truck on the side of the road for long periods of time. By using a space-saver spare your vehicle’s performance is compromised in braking, stability, and traction.
When replacing your fitted tyres, you should also replace the spare if you believe it is old or worn. Follow our guide to tyre repairs here.
