Toyota of Orlando

2.  Keeping your Orlando Toyota tires regularly inspected is absolutely key to
ensuring a long life span for them. This helps you spot issues like uneven
tread wear and visible tears and punctures. While keeping track of the four
on your car, do you ever stop to consider that you have a spare tire to
worry about as well.
 It’s easy to forget about this essential piece of equipment until the time
comes to use it, aka when you get a flat. But, if left unchecked and
unattended to, your spare tie may fall flat.
 Luckily, Toyota of Orlando is here with an easy to follow guide on how to
best care for this essential auto part.

3. 1) Make sure you
have all essential
tools handy
 While having your spare tire
is essential, having the right
installation equipment is
even more so.
 To change a flat tire on
your Orlando Toyota
vehicle, you need a jack
and lug wrench. Without
those two essential tools,
you’re going to want to
start dialing a tow truck.

4. 2) Inspect the spare
tire for wear and
tear
 Doing a self-inspection on
your tires is easy and only
takes a few minutes. For a
spare, it’s even easier!
 Simply look around the
tread for any uneven or
excessive wear and pay
close attention to see if
there are any nails or
punctures.

5. 3) Check PSI levels and
exterior mounted spare tires
 The air pressure in your Orlando Toyota tires is
essential to keep them working properly. It also
guarantees you better fuel efficiency when
driving.
 Make sure to check the air pressure of your spare
tire as well to make sure you’re able to drive in
the event hat you get a flat.
 Spares are stored in a variety of places on your
vehicle. If yours is stored on the exterior paneling
of your vehicle's trunk, pay special attention to it.
 Tires stored in these places are exposed to sun,
heat, and other harsh weather conditions that
could cause them to deteriorate more quickly.
