Complete Spare Tire Kit Option

First and foremost, THANK YOU for your purchase of our complete spare tire kit for your vehicle. As fellow car enthusiasts we have put a great deal of time and energy into delivering a stellar product for your vehicle. .

In this kit you will find everything that you need to quickly and efficiently change a flat tire on your vehicle. To use, please follow the below steps and read full instructions prior to beginning:

1. When changing a flat, it is best to do so on stable level ground away from traffic.
2. Apply the parking brake and chock wheels.
3. Remove kit contents from your vehicle. If your kit contains a carrying case, please remove the tire and wheel from the carrying case. Remove the jack and tools from the wheel and identify the jack, jack handle, and wrench set. Please note- your spare kit may include lug nuts or lug bolts. If so, the lugs will be listed as kit components on the included packing list. If your kit includes lug nuts or bolts, these must be used to mount the spare. If no lugs are listed and are not present, the factory lugs are to be used. 
4. Most vehicles have four different designated lifting points located by the rocker panels near each wheel. Essentially, it is an opening that allows access to the pinch weld lifting point and should be used to safely lift the vehicle. Prior to raising the vehicle, loosen the lug nuts/bolts on the flat tire that you wish to change. Please align the jacking pad of the scissor jack with the jacking point closest to the tire that you are changing. Please consult owner’s manual prior to lifting vehicle for complete lifting instructions and/or specific vehicle lifting procedures. Please see the example below
5. Raise vehicle using the ratcheting scissor jack. The ratchet can operate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction by using a small switch on the side of the ratchet. Do not place yourself or any part of your body under the vehicle while being raised or supported by the jack.
6. Completely remove the lug nuts/bolts and flat tire. Place the flat tire in the included disposable bag.
7. Place the Value Spare wheel and tire on the vehicle using the OEM lug nuts.
Please Note – Your spare kit may include a new set of lug nuts/bolts packaged with the spare wheel and tire. The lugs will be listed as included components listed on the packing slip. If your kit includes these lug nuts or bolts, the spare must be mounted using these included nuts.
8. Ensure that the lug nuts are tight and will not come loose (approximately 100-140 ft lbs). Please note that the wheel contained in this kit is a dual bolt pattern wheel. As such, you will only utilize the five bolt holes that align with your vehicle’s bolt pattern.
9. Lower the vehicle using a ratcheting scissor jack, and place the flat tire and kit contents in your vehicle.
10. Turn traction control and active handling off if equipped while driving on the spare. Failure to do so may result in vehicle warning lights.
That’s it, you’re done and on your way! Please take caution when driving on a spare. Although it is capable of operating for a long distance, it is designed to be used on a temporary basis and does not have the same traction or performance capability of a full-size OEM wheel & tire.

Scissor Jack Instructions

Please ensure to align the slot on the top of the scissor jack pad with the pinch weld jacking point as shown. To achieve optimal jack stability the full pinch weld jack point must be within the slot on the scissor jack pad. Failure to do so could place an uneven load on the jack resulting in jack failure.
In addition to these jack placement instructions please ensure that you use the scissor jack on level ground with the vehicle stabilized. Ensure that the vehicle is in park with the parking brake engaged prior to lifting. It is also recommended to chock the wheels to further stabilize the vehicle prior to lifting. Use only approved jacking points as found in your owner’s manual with the scissor jack base being placed on level solid ground directly beneath the lifting point of the vehicle. Please also check your vehicles owner’s manual for any vehicle specific instructions prior to lifting.
Most importantly, never place yourself or any part of your body under the vehicle while it is raised or supported by the scissor jack. Doing so may result in significant bodily injury or death.
If you have any questions or are unsure about jack placement please directly contact Value Spare at info@valuespare.com.
