condition and inflation. Spare tire will age and become
worn over time even if never used, and thus should be
inspected and replaced when necessary.

result in sudden deflation (blowout) because they
are more likely to become punctured or damaged
by road debris, potholes etc.. Follow recommended
inflation pressures.Do not overload the tires by exceeding the specified
vehicle capacity weight (as indicated by the label

tires can overheat them, possibly causing a
blowout.
