It’s happened to all of us—your car has a flat tire and you need a quick fix to get to a shop to replace it, repair it, or get to your destination. However, you don’t have a normal-sized tire that fits your car. So, you grab your spare tire and switch it out so you can be on your way.
The first question you might ask is, “how long can I drive on this spare tire?”
At McDonald Hyundai, we aim to answer that question for drivers throughout Littleton, Parker, and Castle Rock, CO, and provide additional information about the spare tire in your car.
Before we dive in too deep, there are a few quick facts you should know about the spare tire in your trunk:
By now, you know that your car’s spare tire is a “break glass in case of emergency” situation. You might be wondering what can happen if you drive on it longer than you should. Potentially, you could damage a number of parts of your car, including your transmission. This could lead to many expensive repairs on top of what it would cost to replace or repair the flat tire.
When you need to get your car’s tire repaired or replaced, it’s best not to wait long to do it.
If you’re near Littleton, Parker, and Castle Rock, CO, come see us at our service center at McDonald Hyundai. We’ll get you back on the road with a brand new or repaired tire quickly.
