Frequently Asked Questions

WHY IS A SPACE SAVER WHEEL BETTER THAN A SEALER?

The adhesive kit/foam is not applicable in case of a larger puncture or side penetration. The sealing kit can only secure the hole after a small nail.

WHAT IS THE IDEAL OPERATING PRESSURE OF A SPACE-SAVING SPARE WHEEL?

Space-saving spare wheel has a minimum width compared to a normal wheel. Therefore, the range wheel is inflated to a much higher pressure of 4 atm.

WHAT SIZE OF SPACE SAVER WHEEL SHOULD I GET?

Check the technical certificate. Find out the smallest wheel size you can use on your car. That is the size of the range wheel you can use on your car. Ex: Skoda Octavia 3 - the technical certificate shows the smallest R16. You need to buy the least space saver spare wheel of size R16.

DOES THE SPACE SAVER WHEEL HAVE A DIFFERENT ET THAN THE NORMAL WHEEL ON MY CAR?

ET is not really addressed on the range bike, even at the technical inspection. Space saver wheel is for emergency commuting not for normal road traffic. The ET corresponds to a normal bike. Only the thickness of the disc is half the thickness of a 4" disc.

CAN THE SPACE-SAVING SPARE WHEEL BE USED AS A SPARE FOR THE TRAILER?

Yes, it's even very convenient - the space saver wheel takes up minimal space. You need to choose a type of drive wheel that has the appropriate number of holes for the wheel bolts, the appropriate pitches and the centre bore.

DO YOU HAVE A JACK AND WRENCH FOR THE SPACE SAVER WHEEL?

Of course, you can buy a space saver wheel cover for each wheel, as well as jack or wrench. We also have discounted jack and wrench sets for each of our space saver wheels: here.
