A domestic research team released the Application Trend of Spare Tire by Passenger Car.
Taking car models being launched in the market in the past 15 years as samples, the report analyzes the equipment and use of spare tires by passenger cars.
In general, spare tire includes full size spare tire and non-full-size spare tire. Full size spare tire refers to a tire with its specification and size exactly the same as the vehicle's original tires; while non-full-size tire spare refers to a tire with its diameter and width slightly smaller than the vehicle's original tires.
Over the past 15 years, as much as 88.7% cars were equipped with spare tires and 45.78% cars were equipped with full size spare tires.
Most Korean, Japanese and domestic cars, over 60%, were equipped with full size spare tires.
While less European and American cars were equipped with spare tires, and mostly non-full-size spare tires.
