Question 5084

Is a passenger car required to carry a spare tire?

  1. No, in no case.
  2. Yes, or an alternative system to changing them.
  3. It is only required for those with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) over 3,500 kg.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, or an alternative system to changing them.

Yes. A passenger car must carry a full-size or temporary-use spare wheel, along with the tools to change it, or an alternative system, such as a tire repair kit. Trucks and dual-purpose vehicles over 3,500 kg, however, are not required to carry one. In the picture, the wheel, jack, and lug wrench are in the trunk.
