You have likely heard the old adage
about kicking tires during the pre-purchase
vehicle inspection process. Savvy buyers
will now search out the spare tire – there
may not be one. Why not?
Recent pressures on auto manufacturers
to increase fuel economy have resulted in
efforts to reduce vehicle weight. In fact,
AAA’s research reveals that 13 percent of all
new cars sold in the first half of 2011 had
no spare tire. This streamlining includes replacing the spare with
run-flat tires, roadside inflator kits or emergency sealants.
Higher fuel economy standards likely will accelerate this trend
over the next five years. How can you prepare before you’re at
the roadside kicking the tires out of frustration? AAA suggests
the following:
First, inspect the cars you currently drive, and consult your
owner’s manual. If your vehicle has a spare, be sure it is properly
inflated and stowed. If you cannot locate a spare tire, keep looking
for the alternative. Vehicles designed without spares are usually
equipped with some type of back-up, and it is a good idea to be
familiar with these devices before you encounter a flat. Solutions
include run-flat tires that allow the car to be driven to a safe
location, or an emergency sealant or inflator kit. Knowing your
onboard alternative to a spare and how it works can help avoid
disappointment or delay.
If you carry a sealant, AAA recommends that you check the
date, and replace it every five years or after its use. The sealant
can become less effective with age.
Remember, AAA has a solution to fit your automotive needs. If
you encounter a flat and need help, we’re as close as your phone
or mobile device. AAA members can request roadside rescue
24 hours a day, 365 days a year by calling (800) AAA-HELP, or
(800) 222-4357 or (610) 258-2808, or from your downloaded AAA
roadside app. If you’ve made a temporary fix of a roadside flat,
seek out one of the 8,000 Approved Auto Repair shops for a
professional solution. Locate one at AAA.com/Repair.
Armed with the knowledge gained by a little advance sleuthing,
your flat tire won’t leave you in the gutter.
