How long do you go between checking your spare?

Just for fun, I pulled out my spare on my '99 Tacoma today. From the lack of scratches on the tools to the grooves rubbed into the face of the sidewall I'd say it was its first time out. PSI = 12. Fail. How often do you check your spare/pressure in your spare?

 

i usually check mine about once a month.

 

check it everyday when i walk by my truck and look in my rearview mirror.



yup, it has air.

 

I check it if the TPMS light turns on and all the other tires have the proper amount of air .

 

Same here...
I check my 4 tires everytime I do an oil change and if/when they look low.

My TPMS light went on about 6 months ago because the spare was at 22lbs.

 

i dropped my spare on my 92 toy p/u every couple months and sprayed the spare tire hoist w/ wd40 to prevent rust. learned the hard way one night at 4am after leaving the titty bar and got a flat. the spare tire hoist was so rusted i couldnt drop the spare and broke one of my spare tools. if possible flip the wheel so the valve stem faces down for easy pressure check once a month. unless your doin a lot of off road driving.

 

I pull mine down everything 5-6 months flip it over check the air etc..

 

this is one of those rare times I'm glad to own a jeep. my spare is vertical, and held over 3 feet off the ground... checking my air takes all of 2 seconds!

 

considering ive owned this truck for 3 months i havent yet and i never did in my car, maybe ill do it with the truck well see

 

I have my spare installed air valve out and add 40 lbs of air which holds for a long time.So I check it every 2-3 months.

 

yes to all these except the t bar thang
