Check Spare Tire Yearly

[awdsvx]

Hi guys,

It has been awhile since I last posted. I still have my SVX, not going to sell her. My SVX is for keeps. I just wanted to remind you all to check your spare tire to see if you have proper air pressure. Today while I was driving I heard a "POP" sound and did not think anything of it, since I thought I hit a pot hole. So when I got done with what I had to do, got back in my car and less than a quarter of mile I noticed I had a flat on my passenger side rear. I pulled over and decided to get the spare out of the trunk, guess what, NO AIR! I never checked the air pressure for along time, I never had to use my spare at all before. Long story short, got my SVX carried on a flat bed to Bell Tire, they fixed both my flats. Odd thing about my tire that caused me to get a flat, they said they did not find a hole, but where it was leaking was where the weight was mounted to the rim. Bell Tire said, build up of rust started to cause the air leak. The manger at Bell Tire told me to check the spare tire yearly for the air pressure. No charge for both tires! Lucky I had tripple AAA to cover the tow. Anyway check your air pressure on your spare once a year.
