Have the damaged or flat road tire
repaired or replaced and installed
back onto the vehicle as soon as
possible so the spare tire will be
available in case it is needed again.

different sizes, because they will not
fit. Keep your spare tire and its wheel
together. If the vehicle has a spare tire
that does not match the original road
tires and wheels in size and type, do
not include the spare in the tire
rotation.Jump Starting
