Folks, don't be like me. Driving down I-95 when my front tyre went POP. No biggie, I've changed tyres before. Pulled over, got my tools out, jacked up the car, and guess what? My spare tyre was flat too! Double whammy! So not just roadside assistance, but now I gotta buy two new tyres 'cause I ignored the spare. Check yours today, don't learn the hard way.

Tip for everyone reading: If your car comes with a space-saver spare, consider upgrading to a full-size spare if you have the room. It'll save you a headache with limits on speed and distance. And remember, even if they're not in use, tyres age and deteriorate over time. Check the manufacture date on the sidewall (look for a code starting with DOT) and replace your spare every 6 years, no matter how new it looks.

Had the same thing happen during a road trip in Nevada. Middle of nowhere, no cell service, and a flat spare. Sat in a 100-degree heat until a trucker stopped and lent a hand. It was a nightmare situation. Every month I check the air now, lesson painfully learned.
