Spare tire mount notes

A matching spare and a place to carry it beats hoping the highway is kind.

Tires, heat, and load

Trailer tires fail from age and overload as often as from bald tread. Texas heat accelerates rubber aging in outdoor storage.

• Read the DOT week/year code
• Confirm load rating vs ready-to-tow weight
• Set pressure cold for loaded trips
• Carry a matching spare and tools that fit your lug pattern
