Darra Tyres, Brisbane

This can save you from a very embarrassing and sometimes wet stay on the side of the highway.

The purpose of Spare tyre is a back up or replacement should you find yourself in the unfortunate circumstances of needing it.

The team find it amazing how neglected spare tyres are, rarely are they checked yet its when you need the most (stuck in the pouring rain on the side of a busy highway).

Along with your spare tyre you should also check that you have a car jack which will support that weight of the car, an actual spare tyre pumped up and ready to go, and any locking nuts that you need.

Many modern cars have space-savers spares, whilst they save space in the boot they also are only designed for short distances and at speeds up to 50 km/hr. The idea of these tyres is to get you home or at least so you can get to the workshop.
