Do new Audis come with a spare tyre?
About our range of audi spare wheel kits the majority of audi’s newest models don’t come with a spare wheel as standard – and it’s the same story with most other manufacturers, too. Yes, if you get a flat, a mechanic will come to your location and fit your spare tyre. If you don’t have a spare tyre, they may offer a temporary repair, arrange for local recovery or refer you to a tyre fitter.If you don’t have a spare, all our trained mechanics carry a special spare wheel which fits most cars. We’ll fit it on for you and come with you to a garage to buy a new one. Even if you need a tow to a garage, most of our vans have towing equipment on board, so you won’t have to wait for a truck.It saves you time If you get unlucky and get a flat tyre, it’s far quicker to fit a spare wheel yourself than to wait at the side of the road for a recovery company to assist you. In many cases you could be waiting hours, completely ruining your plans for the day.
How much should a new spare tire cost?
Temporary “donut” spare tires range in cost (due to size, performance, and brand, for example) from $50 to $200 and more. If you choose to keep and maintain a full-sized tire, then it will cost as much as whatever tire you have purchased for the other four wheels. A spare tire serves one purpose: to get you to safety where you can replace the flat. It’s not wise to drive on any spare tire longer than you have to. Space-saver spares or donuts should be driven no more than 50 miles.While spare tires are not permanent replacements for damaged tires, they’re more than single-use tires. However, you should avoid driving on a spare tire for a mile more than necessary to reach a mechanic or tire shop.
