A usable spare tire can be the fastest solution after a flat. Before service, it helps to know whether your vehicle carries a full-size spare or a compact temporary spare and where the spare is stored.
Understand the roadside situation
Some vehicles use a wheel-lock lug nut that requires a special key. Keeping the wheel-lock key with the vehicle can prevent delays during a roadside tire change. It is also helpful to make sure the spare is properly inflated before an emergency happens.
Choose the safest practical next step
Temporary spare tires can have speed and distance restrictions. After installation, follow your vehicle and tire manufacturer guidance and arrange permanent tire service as needed.
