First and foremost, THANK YOU for your purchase of our spare tire solution for your vehicle. As fellow car enthusiasts, we have put a great deal of time and energy into delivering a stellar product for your vehicle.
When using or installing the spare tire on your vehicle, please read entire instructions before beginning:
1. When changing a flat, it is best to do so on stable, level ground away from traffic.
2. Apply parking brake and chock wheels.
3. Consult vehicle owner’s manual for proper lifting/tire changing procedure.
4. Never place yourself or any part of your body under the vehicle while being raised or supported by a jack or lifting device when changing the tire.
5. Please note that the included wheel may be a dual PCD wheel, meaning that the wheel has two seperate bolt patterns, totaling 10 different bolt holes. Please align the 5 bolt holes of the wheel that match up with your vehicle’s bolt pattern.
6. Place the Modern Spare wheel and tire on the vehicle using the factory lug nuts that secured your regular wheel and tire.
7. Ensure that the lug/bolts nuts are tight and will not come loose (approximately 100-140 ft lbs, please check vehicle owners manual to confirm exact specs).
8. On most vehicles, when using a spare tire of any kind, you should turn off your traction control system if equipped while driving. Failure to do so may result in vehicle warning lights. Please consult your vehicle owner’s manual for complete instructions on changing traction control modes or deactivating these systems.
9. The tires used on all Modern Spare spare tire kits have a DOT “M” speed rating. The “M” speed rating designates that the tire is capable of traveling at a constant speed of up to 81 mph. Although the tire is built to this specification, many manufacturers recommend that the narrow space-saving tire is not to exceed 50 mph given the narrow size relative to the regular tires on your vehicle. This is good practice and you should always drive with caution when using a spare tire. Please avoid any speed above 50 mph and only as a means to escape heavy and fast-moving freeway traffic.
Please take caution when driving on a spare. Although it is capable of operating for a long distance it is designed to be used on a temporary basis and does not have the same traction or performance capability of a full size OEM wheel & tire.
