Download Spare Tyre

A spare tire (or stepney in some countries[1]) is an additional tire (or tyre - see spelling differences) carried in a motor vehicle as a replacement for one that goes flat, has a blowout, or has another emergency. Spare tire is generally a misnomer, as almost all vehicles actually carry an entire wheel with a tire mounted on it as a spare rather than just a tire, as fitting a tire to a wheel would require a motorist to carry additional, specialized equipment. However, some spare tires ("space-saver" and "donut" types) are not meant to be driven long distances.[2] Space-savers have a maximum speed of around 50 mph (80 km/h).[3]

When replacing a damaged tire, placing the compact spare on a non-drive axle will prevent damage to the drivetrain. If placed on a drivetrain axle, the smaller-diameter tire can put stress on the differential causing damage and reducing handling.[4]

To alleviate this time-consuming process, Walter and Tom Davies of Llanelli, Wales, invented the spare tire in 1904. At the time, motor cars were made without spare wheels.[5] The wheel was so successful that the brothers started their own company, Stepney Spare Motor Wheel Limited, (named after the location of their workshop on Stepney Street In Llanelli) and started marketing the wheel in Britain, Europe, and the British Empire and colonies.[6] The word "stepney" is sometimes used interchangeably in countries that were once part of the British Empire such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and Malta.[1]

The first to equip cars with an inflated spare wheel-and-tire assembly were the Ramblers made by Thomas B. Jeffery Company.[7] The Rambler's interchangeable wheel with a mounted and inflated spare tire meant the motorist could exchange it quickly for the punctured tire that could then be repaired at a more convenient time and place.[8]

The pre-mounted spare tire and wheel combination proved so popular with motorists that carrying up to two spare tires became common.[citation needed] Automakers often equipped cars with one or dual sidemounts. The spares were mounted behind the front fenders as they blended into the running boards (a narrow footboard serving as a step beneath the doors).

In 1941, the U.S. government temporarily prohibited spare tires on new cars as part of the nation's World War II rationing strategy, which led to quotas and laws designed to force conservation, including rubber that was produced overseas and difficult to get. A similar ration prohibition was also implemented by the U.S. during the Korean War in 1951.[9]

Other storage locations include a cradle underneath the rear of the vehicle. This cradle is usually secured by a bolt that is accessible from inside the trunk, for security. This arrangement has advantages over storing the tire inside the trunk, including not having to empty the contents of the trunk to access the wheel and this arrangement may also save space in some applications. However it has disadvantages because that tire gets dirty, making the act of changing the tire more unpleasant and the mechanism may also rust on older cars, making it difficult to free the spare. The cradle arrangement is usually only practical on front wheel drive cars, as the cradle would get in the way of the rear axle on most rear or four wheel drive cars. A similar arrangement is also often found on trucks where the spare is often stored beneath the truck bed.

Many models of Bristol cars - those from the 404 of 1953 to the Fighter of 2004 carried a full-size spare wheel and tire in a pannier compartment built into the left-hand wing. This not only increased luggage space and allowed easy access to the spare without having to unload the trunk but improved weight distribution by keeping as much mass as possible within the wheelbase and balancing the weight of the battery, mounted in a similar compartment in the right-hand wing.

Until the early 1900s, all motor cars were manufactured without spare wheels. Hence, a puncture was an event dreaded by all drivers. Note that wheels back then were bulky metal or wood constructs unlike today. Thomas Morris Davies found a solution to their concerns by inventing a spare wheel. His brilliant idea was to make a spoke-less metal wheel rim fitted with an inflated tyre. The driver simply had to clamp it to the rim of the wheel that had a flat. Davies teamed up with his brother and they were soon in business. They called their invention, the Stepney Spare Wheel, after the location of their workshop in Stepney Street*, Llanelli, Wales.

The Radar Spare tyre is designed to help drivers regain temporary mobility in the event of a puncture, blowout or any emergency. This space-saver tyre is designed for temporary use only and can help you get off the highway or reach the nearest tyre shop. Featuring a smaller physical size with a narrower tread and light weight construction this tyre can be driven at a maximum speed of 80 km/h at 60 psi cold inflation pressure.

For last few days I am getting 'Check Spare Tyre Pressure' message with a yellow ring, checked the pressure of the spare and its on 34. Could it be an issue with the sensor unit? one way would be to swap the spare with one of the running wheels and then drive for 15 min and to check the pressure to see what it reports, still lot of work getting the wheel out as its so heavy.

Wondering if Anyone else had similar issue.

Sounds like you haven't had the TSB applied to your car that retro-fits the missing spare wheel lifter? If you have any warranty left it might be time to get it looked at using that. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim, I got the wheel lifter tool, have not tried it yet. I got 2 years warranty left and as its only a warning I could ask the dealer to have a look when its in for a software update, I got two pending at the moment. Would have been so much easier if the system displayed spare wheel pressures alone with the other wheels.

Does the TMPS not show the tyre pressure for the spare then. I can read the pressures of all my tyres in the dash in 2015MY HSE D 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Good news (hopefully) I spoke to Team Valley LR who advised it could just be the pressure is too low (I know shocking right)

They said they normally put 50psi in a spare so tried that and so far no warning. Couldn't find that in the manual anywhere so hope it could be useful to others.

I would REALLY like to get rid of my spare wheel. The wheel is heavy and I need the spare wheel well for... other purposes. In my history of driving I never had to use the spare wheel, so it cost me a lot over time driving it around as that heavy bugger never gives me any gas money. I would still take it to longer trips, and ones that require a bit of offroading to be safe.

I noticed some people leave their spare wheel at home and only hold a tyre repair kit in case of an emergency. And some new cars don't have a spare wheel at all (though I believe that would be for reducing costs rather than convenience).

Are the repair kits a viable alternative for spare wheels on regular every day driven passenger vehicles? I understand the kits won't help against heavy tyre or any rim damage, but how often does that occur compared to ordinary punctures?

Auto manufacturers realize this. Customers raised in the 20th century would howl in protest if automakers eliminated spare tires completely, but they have saved weight and space by switching to "limited use" spares.

In the modern era, especially with the advent of cell phones, neither the absolute nor the relative probability of getting a flat tire warrants devoting all that space and fuel to lugging around a spare.

The only time I've ever needed my spare was [cue spooky music] on a dark, stormy night, on a two lane highway through a dense forest. I was doing ~50 mph when I hit a pothole with front passenger tire. The tire didn't go flat immediately, but I could tell something was wrong, and was able to limp another 1/4ish mile to a turnout and swap in my spare. It was miserable, I was soaked to the bone, but I got the tire changed and made it to my destination without significant delay.

Had I not had been equipped with a spare, I would have been on the side of the highway in a sloped gravel lot, in the freezing rain with my car on scissor jack trying to find that %$&#@#$@ puncture, patch it, only to find that a 3" gash in the sidewall is beyond repair. If it did happen to hold, I'd still be limping down a 50 mph highway with white knuckles waiting for my tire to blow out again.

In your particular circumstances, as I'm (perhaps incorrectly) understanding them, you'll probably be fine. Leave the spare at home 99% of the time, but remember to bring it with you if you're going somewhere you might be out of cell range, or the wrecker/cab might not come pick you up. e24fc04721
