Spare Wheel

Having a spare wheel handy in your car is vital for getting through mishaps and road emergencies. You can still get to your destination since you’ll be able to replace your flat or blown-out tires with ease. MoparOnlineParts stocks genuine OEM spare wheels for select Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, and Ram models.

Be Ready for Road Emergencies with a Reliable Spare Wheel 

Flat tires and sudden tire blowouts can be massive headaches while driving, especially when it happens while you’re in a remote location or at night. Having a spare wheel and tire assembly at the ready is a must so you can adapt to these emergencies no matter where you are.

Spare wheels and tires come in two types: regular, full-size spare tires and compact spares. Full-size spares are tire replacements for long-term use. These spares let you drive your car normally. Compact spares are smaller than full-size spare tires as they save more trunk space and are for short-term use only. These spares will let you drive short distances, just enough to get you safely at home or to the nearest service station to fix your tire issue. 

Having a spare tire kit with you is also handy since it lets you seal punctures on your wheels, allowing you to drive long enough to go to the nearest repair shop. These tire kits give you peace of mind to go to any destination while still being ready for road emergencies.

Frequently Asked Question

Are spare wheels universal?

Spare wheels are not universal, as manufacturers design these wheels for specific makes and models of vehicles. These wheels come in various shapes and sizes. Some spares also need specific lug nuts and hardware for proper installation, making them unfit for other car models and wheel hubs.

How much does a spare wheel weigh?

The average weight of a spare wheel is between 40 and 50 pounds. These spares are lighter than standard wheels, which weigh at around 50 to 60 pounds. Keep in mind that the weight of spare wheels depends on its brand, model, size, and specific use. Emergency spares are lighter since they offer a temporary fix, while direct spares are complete replacements to the actual wheels of your ride.

Why is a spare wheel smaller than a full-size wheel?

Most spare wheels are only temporary replacements for your wheels to allow you to drive your car safely up until you find an emergency hub or repair shop. Small spares or donut spares help you save vehicle space with their smaller diameters, narrower widths, and deeper treads. Additionally, smaller temporary tires are lighter and more affordable than complete spares.

Why do new cars have no spare wheels?

Automakers have stopped offering spare wheels with new cars because of concerns over extra vehicle space. A car’s weight and performance are factors as well, since heavier wheels can make a vehicle heavier which affects the car’s fuel economy. Because of this, it’s always handy to have your own spare tire if your newer car doesn’t have any.

How do I find a spare tire for my vehicle?

If you’re getting extra wheels, make sure to determine the proper width, diameter, and mounting configuration of your current wheels. You’ll also need to consider how much space your car still has and whether the tires will fit your vehicle. See where you can store your spare wheel and ensure that it works with your car before you buy.
