check your spare tire
just some advice for everyone, check ur spare tires air pressure. i just had a flat tire and my spare was brand new never used and it was flat. and why dont they give us full size spares? those lil spares look goofy on our big cars.

wow.
part of your monthly maintenance should be pulling the spare / checking the pressure and filling as needed.
i used to be meticulous about that on my pontiac, but the impala not so much

88, it'* the rolling diameter that matters, or the height of the tire. And remember, the height difference between your other three wheels and the spare should be divided by 2 to determine how much lower the corner with the spare will ride.
Most of us have suspensions more than capable of making up that difference.

Bonnie owners check your spare. You may find water in the spare tire well. Maybe thats why its called well.
